@sarahejhej – Its not that the popup is closing. Basically the form doesn’t use AJAX to submit, that means that it submits by refreshing the page. Because the popup isn’t open by default on page load you don’t see the errors if they exist. Opening the popup again should show the errors.
That is the reason we built our AJAX Login Modals extension which includes the needed functionality to work perfectly in a popup.
You could use PHP to check if the form was submitted and then add an extra hook in the footer to output the javascript needed to reshow the form immediately.
Thanks mate – I think I found what I was looking for here https://gist.github.com/danieliser/a8998a38d84299d4aeba
