   Hi There,

   I came across your plugin and it looks like it does a great job on the WordPress login page. The problem is that I have a site that is custom programmed to create a custom login page using the standard WP function wp_signon(). When I login using this method, it appears that your plugin error messages do not get integrated into the WP_Error message stream. What can I do (what actions or filters can I apply) so that your plugin will function using the wp_signon() method?

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

   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()?
