Choose what to show (login, register, or both), style it from the block sidebar and publish — no shortcode, no settings screen. The forms use the native [WordPress](https://www.linknacional.com.br/wordpress/) authentication, so the plugin is fully self-contained: it works on its own, without requiring any other plugin. **Features** * One block with four modes: Login and register, Login only, Register only, or Lost password. * Login and register side by side on wide screens, stacking automatically on narrow ones. * Appearance controls per block: primary color, card and input backgrounds, text color and corner radius. * Editable texts: headings, subheadings, field labels, button labels, “remember me” and “lost password” links. * Password strength meter on the registration form, rated by WordPress’ own meter( the same one used on wp-login.php); the Register button stays disabled until the password reaches a medium strength. * Optional per-form privacy note, with a `[privacy_policy]` placeholder that links to the site’s privacy policy page (Settings > Privacy). Off by default, one toggle per form. * Optional redirect URL after logging in (empty by default: the visitor stays on the page). * Optional redirect URL after logging out (empty by default: the visitor stays on the page). * Login, registration and lost-password submissions happen in-page: wrong credentials, unknown accounts and validation errors are shown inline on the block, without jumping to wp-login.php. After a reset e-mail is requested, the “get new password” button locks for 30 seconds (with a countdown) so it can’t be triggered repeatedly. * The password reset is completed inside the block too: the reset e-mail links back to the page hosting the block, which then shows a “set a new password” form( new password + confirmation, same strength meter and privacy note as the registration form). The link is checked when the page opens, so an already-used or expired link shows a clear message instead of the form. * Going back to the page (browser back/forward) does not bring back a stale, half- submitted state: filled fields and a submit button stuck in “loading” are cleared. * Optional “return to the previous page”: after logging in or registering, the visitor goes back to the last page they were on (e.g. the product they came from) instead of a fixed URL. * Configurable “lost password” link URL (defaults to WordPress’ own lost-password page), so it can point to a page using the Lost password block. * Logged-in visitors who open the page see a configurable message (and a log-out link) instead of the forms; when a “Redirect after login” URL is set, they are sent there instead (with a brief loading spinner, so the forms never flash). * No settings screen and no data stored outside the block: every instance is independent and portable. ### Tutorial: login, registration and account pages This step-by-step sets up a complete login flow with three pages (a login/registration page, a lost-password page and a “my account” page). Replace the example URLs (` https://example.com/...`) with your own. **1. Create the pages** Under Pages > Add New, create three pages with clear slugs, for example: * `/login/` — the login and registration page. * `/lost-password/` — the password reset page. * `/my-account/` — the page a logged-in visitor sees instead of the forms. **2. Login / registration page (`/login/`)** Add the “Login and Register Form” block and, in the block sidebar, set: * **Show**: `Login and register`. * **Redirect after login (optional URL)**: your home page, e.g. `https://example. com/` — where the visitor lands after a successful login or registration. * **Lost password link (URL)**: the address of your lost-password page, e.g. `https:// example.com/lost-password/` — this is where the “Lost your password?” link on the login form points. * **Redirect after logout (optional URL)**: your home page, e.g. `https://example. com/` (optional). Optional: turn on “Return to the previous page” if you would rather send the visitor back to the last page they were on (e.g. the product they came from) instead of the fixed URL. When it is on, the “Redirect after login” field is ignored. **3. Lost-password page (`/lost-password/`)** Add the block again and set: * **Show**: `Lost password`. * **Redirect after login (optional URL)**: your home page, e.g. `https://example. com/` — if a logged-in visitor opens this page, they are sent home. * **Redirect after logout (optional URL)**: your home page (optional). How it works: the visitor enters their e-mail and clicks “Get new password”. The button then locks for 30 seconds (with a countdown) so the same request cannot be fired again and again. A reset e-mail is sent, and its link brings the visitor back to **this page**, where a “set a new password” form (new password + confirmation) appears. After saving, they are logged in and sent to the “Redirect after login” destination. An already-used or expired link shows a clear message instead of the form. **4. My account page (`/my-account/`)** Add the block one more time and set: * **Show**: `Login and register` (the same as the login page). * **Redirect after login (optional URL)**: **this page’s own URL**, e.g. `https:// example.com/my-account/`. This way, a logged-in visitor stays here and sees the“ You are logged in as …” message with a log-out button, instead of being bounced to the home page; a logged-out visitor sees the login and register forms. * **Redirect after logout (optional URL)**: your home page, e.g. `https://example. com/` — so logging out from this page returns the visitor to the home page. **Summary** * Login page Show “Login and register”; Redirect after login = Home; Lost password link = the lost-password page; Redirect after logout = Home. * Lost-password page Show “Lost password”; Redirect after login = Home; Redirect after logout = Home. * My account page Show “Login and register”; Redirect after login = the page itself; Redirect after logout = Home. **Notes** * Any URL field left empty uses the plugin default. An empty “Redirect after login/ logout” keeps the visitor on the same page. * To allow new visitors to register, enable “Anyone can register” in Settings > General. * Every block is independent, so you can repeat this pattern on as many pages as you like (e.g. one login block per landing page). ### Technical Details **Block** * Block name: `lknform/login-register` (static block, rendered in JavaScript). * No custom database tables and no options written by the plugin; everything lives in the block attributes. * Login, registration and lost-password post to the plugin’s own REST routes (` lknform/v1/login`, `lknform/v1/register`, `lknform/v1/lost-password`) when JavaScript is available, so the result is handled on the page (native wp-login.php is the no-JavaScript fallback); no assets run outside the block on the front end. * The password reset e-mail links back to the block’s page (with the reset key), where the “set a new password” form (new password + confirmation, `lknform/v1/ reset-password`) applies it with WordPress’ own `check_password_reset_key()` /` reset_password()`. The block checks the key on load (`lknform/v1/reset-password/ check`), so a used/expired link shows a clear message instead of the form; the core wp-login.php link is kept when the request did not come from the block. **Hooks** * `registration_errors` — the registration endpoint runs this core filter, so anti- spam/captcha plugins validate the block’s registration; the submission is sent as form data so plugins reading `$_POST` (e.g. a honeypot) work as expected. * `lknform_account_url` — filter. The default destination used after login/logout. Empty by default (WordPress has no front-end account page); a site or plugin can provide one. * `lknform_create_user` — filter. Lets a site or plugin create the account itself and return its user ID; return `null` to create a plain WordPress user. ### Source Code The unminified, human-readable source of the compiled files shipped in `build/` is included in the plugin itself, in the `src/` folder. The `build/` assets (`index.js`, `view.js`, `style-index.css`) are generated from` src/` with [@wordpress/scripts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts). To regenerate them, from the plugin folder run `npm install` and then `npm run build`. The only bundled dependencies are the WordPress packages (`@wordpress/blocks`, `@ wordpress/block-editor`, `@wordpress/components`, `@wordpress/element`, `@wordpress/ i18n`, `@wordpress/api-fetch`), pulled in by `@wordpress/scripts`; no other third- party libraries are bundled. ## Screenshots [⌊The login and register block on the front-end.⌉⌊The login and register block on the front-end.⌉[ The login and register block on the front-end. [[ ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Login and Register Form Add a login and/or registration form to any page. Style it from the block sidebar; it works on its own. ## Installation 1. In the [WordPress](https://www.linknacional.com.br/wordpress/) admin, go to Plugins > Add New, search for the plugin and install it (or upload the plugin ZIP via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin). 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen. 3. Edit any page and add the “Login and Register Form” block from the block inserter. 4. Open the block sidebar to choose what to show and style it. To allow new visitors to register, make sure “Anyone can register” is enabled in Settings > General. To use the `[privacy_policy]` link in a privacy note, set a page under Settings > Privacy > Privacy Policy page. ## FAQ ### Does it require any other plugin? No. The block works on its own using the native WordPress login and registration. ### Can I show only the registration form? Yes. In the block sidebar, set “Show” to “Register only”. ### How does the password strength meter work? The registration form rates the password with WordPress’ own meter (the same zxcvbn- based meter used on wp-login.php). The password is considered ready when it reaches a “Medium” rating or higher; before that, the Register button stays disabled. ### How do I link the privacy note to my privacy policy? Type `[privacy_policy]` anywhere in the note text. It is replaced by a link to the page set under Settings > Privacy > Privacy Policy page. If no page is set, the text “privacy policy” is shown without a link. ### Where are the settings stored? Inside the block itself, on the page where you added it. There is no separate settings screen, so each block is independent. ### Does it work with anti-spam and captcha plugins? Yes. Registration runs through WordPress’ own `registration_errors` validation and is submitted as form data, so anti-spam (e.g. WP Armour / honeypot) and captcha plugins act on it just like on the native forms. The block’s forms also include the honeypot hook those plugins look for. ### What happens to logged-in visitors? When a visitor is already logged in and opens a page with the block, they see a short “You are logged in as …” message with a log-out link instead of the forms — unless a “Redirect after login” URL is set on the block, in which case they are sent there first (with a brief loading spinner, so the login/register forms never flash). ### How does the password reset work? The reset e-mail links back to the page hosting the block (instead of wp-login.php). Opening it validates the link and shows a “set a new password” form (new password and confirmation) that uses the same password strength meter and privacy note as the registration form; an already-used or expired link shows a clear message instead of the form. The new password is applied with WordPress’ own reset functions. When the reset was not requested from the block (e.g. the native wp-login.php form), WordPress’ default wp-login.php link is kept. ### How is the username generated on registration? The registration form asks for an e-mail and a password only; the username is derived from the e-mail (the part before `@`). When that username is already taken, an 8- digit random suffix is appended (e.g. `joao.silva-04731589`), so colliding accounts stay unique. Visitors can always log in with their username or e-mail. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “LKN Forms – Login and Register” is open source software.
