Redirect Failed Login to Same Page

—

If the wrong login credentials are used for the login form [affiliates_dashboard_login], the person is redirected to the WordPress Login Page. Do you have a recommended method for refreshing the custom login page rather than redirecting to the wordpress login page? If code is the best method, what code can I add to my child theme to have it refresh to the same page with a note of “Your username or password is incorrect.”

    Hi,

    The template that is used to produce the login form is using the standard wp_login_form() function. You can pretty much freely adjust that to reflect your preferred login process. There are a few resources around related to changing the default behavior of the WordPress login, I think that the second answer on this post reflects the way most of them do it. Adding the suggested function to your child theme should do the trick.

    Cheers
