    @bcworkz, thanks for the reply. Now I fully understand the purpose of the init function. I read about it but did not fully delugve into really understanding it’s usage.

    Thanks for the Response

    @steve, this what I have done after reading the link you provided.

    add_filter('wp_authenticate_user', 'custom_authentication',10 ,2);
	
	function custom_authentication($emailAdd, $password) {
		global $wpdb, $formErr;
		
		if(1 > count($formErr->get_error_messages())){
			$table = $wpdb->prefix.'finusers';
			$sql = "SELECT * FROM $table WHERE email_address='$emailAdd' AND password='$password'";
			$authenticate_user = $wpdb->query($sql);
			
			if($authenticate_user!=0){
				echo "Successful Authenticated user";
			}else{
				echo "Failed to authenticate user";
			}
		}
	}

    I still can get the user authenticated using this code, but is this the correct way to this? Any suggestions on adjusting this code would really be of great help.

    Thanks
