 * I don’t know if it was just me but I found several bugs in this plugin without
   trying too hard.
 * 1. I created a new user account in the admin console but it never got added to
   my list of new users. I thought I had just made a mistake so I tried creating
   the new user again. When I did, I got this message “Email address is already 
   in use another Client or standard WordPress user. Please use a unique email address”.
   So Basically I couldn’t create the user anymore under the same email address.
 * 2. After managing to create a new user, I went to the login page and this is 
   what I get when I enter wrong credentials “$data[‘error_msg’]”. How horrible 
   that is! Users don’t need to see that kind of a message. How about a “Wrong username
   and/or password. Please try again.” ?
 * 3. When you click the LOGOUT link I’m taken to a 404 page (the standard Windows
   404). I guess I should be taken to the Homepage or something?
 * There’s actually a few more but I guess those three are enough. I think you need
   to spend a bit of time working on the bugs before offering a PRO version? By 
   the way, considering the number of bugs found and after going through the plugin
   features I’d say the Lite version is “VERY Lite”. Not much offered!

 * 1. This is a native WordPress restriction. In the documentation, you would have
   found that you should have used our “Convert to Client” feature which allows 
   you to use an existing user as a client.
 * 2. This is an error we haven’t seen… possibly a theme/plugin conflict.
 * 3. Possibly your permalinks set incorrectly, or an invalid value in the logout
   redirect setting within WP-Client.
 * Did you contact support at all before this review?
 * Thanks

 * I too receive this message when incorrect login info is input.

 * [@wordmonkey25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordmonkey25/) On which page
   are you seeing this error message? “domain.com/portal/login-page” or “domain.
   com/wp-login.php” or another, or all?
 * Thanks

 * “domain.com/portal/login-page” where i’ve added to short code to create the login
   page.
 * domain.com/wp-login continues to function normally.

   verify for us, what version number of WordPress and WP-Client Lite are you currently
   running?
    Thanks.

   for your feedback. We will address the Dev Team about this issue, and we will
   work to resolve it in the next version of the plugin.

 * I have had a similar problem with the WP-Client Lite plugin. I am running WP 
   v3.8.1 and the WP-Client Lite v0.0.6
 * When a visitor tries to login to the portal the following message displays if
   they enter invalid login information:
 * $data[‘error_msg’]
 * Obviously this is incorrect and should be some human friendly error message.
 * I have found where the problem is. In the plugin folder navigate to:
 * /forms/login_form.php
 * On **line 25** you’ll find:
 * `<div id="login_error">$data['error_msg']</div>`
 * So the problem is that the $data variable wasn’t placed inside <?php ?> tags 
   and _echo_ needs to be added. So to fix the problem replace the line above with:
 * `<div id="login_error"><?php echo $data['error_msg']; ?></div>`
 * This will then output a human friendly message saying that the user supplied 
   incorrect login information.
 * I hope this helps in case anyone else is still having the issue.
 * Cheers
 * Rich
