carlos123Hi everyone,
I have spent hours Googling and reading through posts on this forum to find what I am looking for to no avail and was wondering if someone here could direct my further searching or recommend something to me (a plugin or otherwise)?
Specifically I am looking to add a login functionality to a site I am working on where a nav link "Login" will appear on every page of the site that is accessible by the public.
Once clicked on that link will lead to a custom login form on a page.
That login form, once submitted, will then check to make sure the person logged in is authorized to view the private pages on the site and if they are...will redirect them to one of them from which page they can then view any of the private pages they want.
Oh..once logged in the login link will change to read "Logout" or a logout link will become active.
This is not an adult site. It is corporate site offering memberships to those who want to pay for the services being offered.
It appears that I will have to create my own plugin to do all the above. There are to be sure plugins that do site authentication but they don't allow me to connect to a Login link on every page or redirect users to the page of my choice once the Login link is clicked. Others use only Apache based authentication. I want an authentication that relies on MySQL saved usernames and passwords.
None appear to do what I need.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Carlos
