Login to WordPress via custom page (not wp-login.php)? (1 post)

    Hi,

    I've been trying to figure out a way to do this for a while now and thought I'd ask here incase it's been done before and I could get some help.

    Basically what I want to do is have my own site powered by a custom built site (along with a custom CMS), but using wordpress for the Blog part of the site. The problem with this is that I will be using two different login forms for each admin section with two different sets of login information - I want to combine them.

    I want to be able to go to my custom login page (e.g. example.com/admin/login.php) and login using my WordPress information. On logging in I want it to login to wordpress, then display a page with something like "Which admin section do you want to go to? WordPress or Custom" (with links).

    The problems I face are:
    1) Using the WordPress login authentication on a custom admin section.
    2) Logging in with a custom login form.

    If I could figure out how to do those then I could work my way around coding it all.

    It must be possible, I just need to figure out how, or work my way back in the WordPress code to figure it out (but I thought it would be best to ask here first - see if anyone has tried/done it before).

    Thanks,
    Nick
