   I have a site with a working login system already in place. I used this as the base and have been heavily modifying it, http://www.evolt.org/node/60384. I was wondering if there was an easy way to replace the default login setup on WordPress to my custom one. Could I create a plugin that could achieve this? If so how would I? Or would I have to modify the core files? If so, which files/ functions? I am new to WordPress, but I know php, html5, Javascript, JQuery, and more. I am willing to learn!

   Thanks,

   Also, if this is the wrong forum I am sorry, nust tell me.

   Never, ever, modify core WordPress files. I'd suggest that you start by searching for a suitable pre-written plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=login

   I went through a few of the pages from your above link, but I have seen nothing that will achieve what I am trying to do. Would it be easier to integrate the WordPress login into my site? The way I have my site right now I have a fully working login, registration, and user panel and I would prefer to not have to re-write the entire thing, but that may be much easier than integrating my login into WordPress.

   Thanks,
