never mind i realized i was trying to install under themes instead of plugins.

made the change to plain, saved, refreshed and dumped browser cache. then the page is not found at all even if I am signed in as admin or signed out. the page wont load. there is a difference, this time it is not a wordpress Ooops, it is a 404 error.

I switched back to post permalink and it is back as described in last post, works with admin otherwise doesn’t work.

just so you know, I built the same exact website, mirror copy, on a completely different server and I have the same exact problem. I have tried different themes and I still get the same result. yes I have followed the instructions step by step even though some of them are pretty vague. my last post goes through exactly what I have done. one last question then I will leave you alone, is it possible to remove the “not a member? join us” from the coding of simple membership directly?

so I am guessing there is no fix for this, is that correct? is there a way to go into the simple membership files and adjust the code there? is this fixable or do I go with another membership method.

I deleted all of the simple membership plugins and all data. I did a clean up of my WP files. I then did a complete reinstall of the 3 plugins. simple membership, simple membership redirect, simple membership custom message. I followed the instructions found here https://simple-membership-plugin.com/simple-membership-documentation/

the install did not create the pages so I followed the directions and created the pages myself. I created the following pages, member login, password reset, registration, and join us. i then copied all the pages URL’s to their proper location under wp membership page settings.

so at this point i have the simple membership install and all of the pages created and working. I tested the site to check if simple membership default logins worked and they did.

at this point i wanted to remove the “join us” and “forgot password” from the member login in page. I then followed the instructions here https://simple-membership-plugin.com/miscellaneous-css-tweaks-simple-membership-plugin/ and using custom css it worked fine. you can see it here https://www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/member-login/

again i tested the site and it worked fine.

i then wanted to remove the “not a member? join us” from the login request on our page. i followed this https://simple-membership-plugin.com/simple-membership-custom-messages-addon/ and this https://mbrsolution.com/wordpress/wordpress-simple-membership-custom-message-add-on.php as best i could understand it. I then wrote a custom message to remove the “not a member? join us” from the login request and following the above i came up with this code

You need to login to view this content. Please a class=”swpm-login-link” href=”https://paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/member-login/”>Login</a

i removed the <> do you can see the path.

when you go to the page https://www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/technical-services/ you will see that the “not a member? join us” is removed and only the “login” link is there. this is what i want. so that works. but when you click on the “login” link it cannot find the member-login page. so this is where my problem is. i don’t understand what is wrong with the URL path and why it cant find the member-login page.

i have gotten a bit confused with everything i have been trying. so i copied the wrong url in my last response. it should have been:

You need to login to view this content. Please a href=”https://www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/membership-login.php/”>login</a

and my site does have this

https://www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/membership-login/

I have confirmed that the settings are correct and I have not deleted the members login page. I have confirmed that the code is correct. again here it is below

You need to login to view this content. Please a href=”https://www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/login.php”>login</a

again I have removed the <> so that you can read the code. again when you click the login link it cannot find the membership login page.

if you like I can give you access to the site dashboard so that you can confirm what I am telling you

hmmmmm…..

this is frustrating. ok this where I stand at the moment. I have not moved or deleted any files from the plugin. everything is where it was when installed.

I have been able to remove the “join us” and “forgot password” from the membership-login page. I did this by using custom css based on the documentation you provided. so that works now. I have tested this by removing any custom message I had earlier on our page. so when the default “You need to login to view this content. Please Login. Not a Member? Join Us” is left on the page and you click “login” it takes you to the membership-login page and the “join us” and “forgot password” is no longer there.

but this where we have a problem. when I use custom message to put in our message “You need to login to view this content. Please login” and change it from the default like above and you click the login link it cant find the membership-login page. so that is where we have a problem. it must be the file path or the code language is incorrect. I followed the instructions in the documentation you provided. I have tried the two following command lines, both have the same problem. when you click the login link it cant find the membership login page. below are the two lines I have tried.

“You need to login to view this content. Please a href=”//paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/membership-login/””>Login</a”

“You need to login to view this content. Please a href=”//www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/login.php””>login</a”

I removed the final <> so that you could read the language

I have left the website with the default login on our page so you can try it and see that on the membership-login we have removed the “join us” and “forgot password” if you wish.

https://www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/technical-services/

so as you can see there is a problem with our custom message and I don’t know what it is.

ok we are getting closer. this does remove the “join us” from the member login page however it does not remove it from one of our pages where we require you to login to continue such as our technical services page. when you click on that page you are given notice that:

“You need to login to view this content. Please Login. Not a Member? Join Us”

see page here https://www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/technical-services/

once on this page if you click the “please login” link you are take to the member login page which NOW does not have the “join us” link. it has been removed. but again, the “not a member? join us” link is not removed from the ” you need to login …. join us” on the technical services page.

again, we want to remove the portion that says “not a member? join us” so we are not just removing the “join us” link but also the “not a member?” portion as well.

we are almost there, thank you for your help.

I just noticed that if you click on the “forgot password” link on the member login page the forgot password page cannot be found. so now it seems this isn’t working. so how can we remove the forgot password link as well? we will always issue memberships with passwords via email. if someone forgets their password they will have to contact us to get it or reset it. there is no need to have a forget password link.

we don’t have a membership login page. this all started because we wanted to remove the “Not a Member? Join Us” portion of the login that is the default login with your plugin. we like your default login we just don’t want the “join us” link. we don’t need it.

so it seems to me that since we used the “custom message” we need to make sure that the new message we use links to the default login pop up window. all we want to do is loose the join us part.

so wouldn’t it just be easier to go into the php and just remove the “join us” section? I just need to know where that is.

below is the exact message I am using including the code change. but again the exact wording doesn’t show because it just shows the “login” link

“You need to login to view this content. Please login”

this is the code line minus the < at the beginning and the > at the end so that you can read it.

You need to login to view this content. Please a href=”https://www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/login.php”>login</a

ok I thought I knew what the problem was, I didn’t have the path to the website correct. I have the WP setup in a subfolder so it should be paradisetechasia.com/ptalworldpress/login.php. I then change the login to login.php. the URL is now correct but I am getting a page not found. so I am guessing that my path to the login.php is still wrong.

here is the page https://www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/technical-services/

this is the error I am getting https://www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/technical-services/%E2%80%9Dhttp:/www.paradisetechasia.com/ptalwordpress/login.php%E2%80%9D

I thought you would be able to see the coded line in my reply but I guess not. since I don’t know how to do that here I have altered it a bit but I am sure you can figure it out.

You need to login to view this content. Please a href=”https://www.paradisetechasia.com/login.com”>login</a

thank you for the information it was very helpful. I was able to get the message I want with just the “login” link I wanted, however, when the login is pressed it does not open a login request, it goes to “page not found”. so I must have the path wrong. here is what I used:

You need to login to view this content. Please login

how do I fix this?

yep that was the problem. now how do I create a “login” link so that my message “You need to login to view this content. Please login” allows them to login? How do I link this to the existing login request?
