White Label CMS – Autocomplete admin login disabled

For anyone that wants to fix the issue on their own, I have found a workaround.

The problem seems to be within the code called to dynamically rewrite the login screen’s link. (By default, there’s a link to wordpress.org and a link title of “Powered by WordPress” associated with the “WordPress” graphic.) “White Label CMS” nicely replaces this with whatever you specify in the admin settings, but it’s this action that’s stripping out the remembered username & password from the login screen.

As a workaround, you can remove the code that performs the rewriting of that URL and link title. This will, of course, mean that the login screen will have a link back to wordpress.org and the link title of “Powered by WordPress,” but it will still use whatever custom logo/graphic you set for the login page

The Workaround
Between line 112 – 123 in the file “wlcms-plugin.php,” replace the following code:

.login #login p#nav a {' . get_option('wlcms_o_login_lost') . '  !important }
	</style>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		function loginalt() {
			var changeLink = document.getElementById(\'login\').innerHTML;
			changeLink = changeLink.replace("http://wordpress.org/", "' . site_url() . '");
			changeLink = changeLink.replace("Powered by WordPress", "' . get_bloginfo('name') . '");
			document.getElementById(\'login\').innerHTML = changeLink;
		}
		window.onload=loginalt;
	</script>
	';

with this:

.login #login p#nav a {' . get_option('wlcms_o_login_lost') . '  !important }
	</style>
	';

[Basically, you’re just removing the JavaScript that performs the “changelink” function. I just supplied a “replace ‘this’ with ‘that'” example since that’s usually easier to understand than just asking readers to remove a chunk of script, for anyone reading this that may be new to code editing.]

After that, the login screen accurately remembers the username & password for easy login.

Would be nice to have a better solution for this. Breaking the link isn’t really a solution.
