Front-End Login using PHP

    Hello all,

    I’m trying my best to add a login box to the front-end of my site. Using plugins hasn’t worked well so far aesthetically.

    My preferred method so far has been to install ExecPHP and paste code into the widget in the footer, which works ok.

    Further to what I’ve done so far, I’d like to:

    • Add “Register | Forgot your password?” links for non-logged in users
    • Add a link to account management for logged in users
    • Remove the “Remember Me” box entirely, as it doesn’t sit well with the theme

    Would anyone be kind enough to help me out? My current code is below.

    <?php
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { // Display WordPress login form:
    $args = array(
        'redirect' => admin_url(),
        'form_id' => 'loginform-custom',
        'label_username' => __( 'Username' ),
        'label_password' => __( 'Password' ),
        'label_remember' => __( 'Remember Me' ),
        'label_log_in' => __( 'Log In' ),
        'remember' => true
        );
    wp_login_form( $args );
} else { // If logged in:
    wp_loginout( home_url() ); // Display "Log Out" link.
    echo " | ";
    wp_register('', ''); // Display "Site Admin" link.
}
?>

    Thanks,

    Nick 🙂

    What do you mean by account management? Are you referring to the dashboard?

    The other things are covered with the following code: 

    <?php
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { // Display WordPress login form:
    $args = array(
        'redirect' => admin_url(),
        'form_id' => 'loginform-custom',
        'label_username' => __( 'Username' ),
        'label_password' => __( 'Password' ),
        'label_log_in' => __( 'Log In' ),
        'remember' => true
        );
    wp_login_form( $args );
    echo wp_lostpassword_url( $redirect );
    echo wp_registration_url();
} else { // If logged in:
    wp_loginout( home_url() ); // Display "Log Out" link.
    echo " | ";
    wp_register('', ''); // Display "Site Admin" link.
}
?>

    Thanks for responding! The Dashboard, that’s correct.

    I’ve entered the new code into the widget, which results in this (Chrome):

    Just to be clear, you want the admin link to show if they are logged in correct? If not they would just be redirected to another login screen which would be pointless unless I’m missing something.

    Try this for displaying lost password and registration links:

    <?php
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { // Display WordPress login form:
    $args = array(
        'redirect' => admin_url(),
        'form_id' => 'loginform-custom',
        'label_username' => __( 'Username' ),
        'label_password' => __( 'Password' ),
        'label_log_in' => __( 'Log In' ),
        'remember' => true
        );
    wp_login_form( $args );
    wp_lostpassword_url( $redirect );
    wp_registration_url();
} else { // If logged in:
    wp_loginout( home_url() ); // Display "Log Out" link.
    echo " | ";
    wp_register('', ''); // Display "Site Admin" link.
}
?>

    That’s correct, yes.

    I’ve copied in the latest code, and now nothing displays for the 

    wp_login_form( $args );
    wp_lostpassword_url( $redirect );
    wp_registration_url();

    part (whereas before we had plain text as the picture in my last post illustrates).

    Sorry, try this. Of course you may need to style this with css:

    <?php
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { // Display WordPress login form:
    $args = array(
        'redirect' => admin_url(),
        'form_id' => 'loginform-custom',
        'label_username' => __( 'Username' ),
        'label_password' => __( 'Password' ),
        'label_log_in' => __( 'Log In' ),
        'remember' => true
        );
    wp_login_form( $args );
    echo '<a href="' . wp_lostpassword_url( $redirect ) . '">Lost Password?</a>';
    echo '<a href="' . wp_registration_url() . '">Register</a>';
} else { // If logged in:
    wp_loginout( home_url() ); // Display "Log Out" link.
    echo " | ";
    wp_register('', ''); // Display "Site Admin" link.
}
?>

    Thank you so much graphical_force, that has cracked it! Now I’ll spend some time figuring out how to make it appear like this:

    Register | Lost Password?

    I’m trying 

    echo '<a href="' . wp_registration_url() . '">Register</a>';
    echo " | ";
    echo '<a href="' . wp_lostpassword_url( $redirect ) . '">Lost Password?</a>';

    There are a few ways to do that. The way you are doing it there should work as well.

    Would you be kind enough to share the other methods with me? Mine didn’t end up displaying the | at all unfortunately.

    Try this:

    <?php
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { // Display WordPress login form:
    $args = array(
        'redirect' => admin_url(),
        'form_id' => 'loginform-custom',
        'label_username' => __( 'Username' ),
        'label_password' => __( 'Password' ),
        'label_log_in' => __( 'Log In' ),
        'remember' => true
        );
    wp_login_form( $args );
    echo '<a href="' . wp_lostpassword_url( $redirect ) . '">Lost Password?</a> | <a href="' . wp_registration_url() . '">Register</a>';
} else { // If logged in:
    wp_loginout( home_url() ); // Display "Log Out" link.
    echo " | ";
    wp_register('', ''); // Display "Site Admin" link.
}
?>
