Hi Carolyn,
This happens mainly because in the affiliates login form there isn’t a reset password link, so in case the affiliate has indeed lost/forgot their password, they get the chance to reset it. Still though even if they login successfully through the wp-login form, they will be redirected to their affiliates area page.
If though you still want to keep affiliates to the same page after a failed login, you should put this snippet to your functions.php file of your active theme, preferably a child theme.
add_action( 'wp_login_failed', 'gt_login_fail' );
function gt_login_fail( $username ) {
$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if ( !empty( $referrer ) && !strstr( $referrer, 'wp-login') && !strstr( $referrer, 'wp-admin') ) {
wp_redirect( $referrer . '?login=failed' );
exit;
}
}
Kind regards,
George
