Hi,
I've been trying to add some text to my login-form.php template, which I first copied to my main theme's folder. The comment in the file states that the plugin checks the theme folder first before the templates folder of the plugin. However, it doesn't seem to read both at all. I tried adding the content to both files and it didn't show up whatsoever. The source of my login page is also different from what's in login-form.php. Is there something I need to change in order for the templates to be used by the plugin at all?
Also, the login redirect doesn't work. I set a custom URL to be redirected to after login for admins but no matter what setting I enable, it always goes to the logged in page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Custom templates are to be placed in the active theme's directory, such as wp-content/themes/twentyten, not just wp-content/themes.

I know that, and that's what I did. It did work for the register template but not for login-form.php.
Surely the plugin uses the template. Perhaps another plugin is generating the form or even the wp_login_form() function?

I figured out that it's because of the fact that I use custom templates. Can I make the plugin work with them?

I already managed to load the plugin into my theme with custom templates by using do_shortcode(); instead of using a seperate Login page. It seems to work properly now, except for the redirects which still puzzle me a bit. For instance, when I log in as an admin, it takes me to the "logged in" page (with the userlinks) and not the Dashboard, as set.
You should use theme_my_login() instead of do_shortcode().

Right, thanks for the heads-up ;)
