Integrating Limit Login Attempts Plugin to Custom Login

OK… I take it from the silence that you have no idea how to address this issue?

Hello…

I see you are back. Do you have any help for me on this issue?

Thanks!

Hi, sorry for the long silence!

The requirements for a custom login page is:
– call do_action(‘login_head’); in the header
– if there are any errors they must be filtered using something similar to: $errors = apply_filters(‘login_errors’, $errors);

Good luck!

Hi and thanks for the reply!

I did as you suggested by placing do_action(‘login_head’) into the header and ran a standard wp_error routine before it as below:

But I am still not getting any indication that your plugin is working to block the attempts, nor do I get a number of attempts readout.

Hi,

How it works:
* the error object returned from wp_signon() on a failed login will include our error message
* when displaying the login page otherwise you can get the retries information either by calling limit_login_get_message() directly or by using the global $error like wp-login.php.

Try something like the following pseudo-code:

Hi johanee,

Thanks a million. The limit_login_get_message() function works like a charm. The only problem I am seeing now is that apparently my custom page is not being monitored by the plugin. No matter what I do, it always shows “3 attempts remaining.”

Is there something that I should be doing on this page that will cause the plugin to monitor the signons via wp_signon()?

wp_signon() should work out of the box. I’m not sure what the trouble is. If you send a copy of your login page to [email protected] I’ll check it out.

Hi johanee,

I sent an email to the email address on 6/6, but I have yet to hear from you. I sent a new email today with another copy of the code if you by chance did not get it. If you do not get it, please check your junk mail.

Thanks!

I use this:

<?php
global $error;
$referrer = $_GET['login'];
 if ($referrer == 'false'){
	echo '<div id="message" class="error"><p>';
	echo $error;
	echo '</p></div>';
 } else {
 }
?>
