WordPress login form code


I have the following in a WordPress sidebar widget that serves as an online community for my niche. Right now I am able to display the form when the user is not logged in and to display the "Welcome to the Community!" message when the user is logged out -- which is great. However, the login functionality doesn't seem to be working. Could I please get some help?

<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="https://domain.org/wp-login.php"        
 method="post">
    <p class="login-username">
        <label for="user_login">Username</label>
        <input type="text" name="log" id="user_login" class="input" value="" 
                        size="20" />
        </p>
    <p class="login-password">
        <label for="user_pass">Password</label>
        <input type="password" name="pwd" id="user_pass" class="input" 
                        value="" size="20" />
    </p>
    <p class="login-submit">
        <input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit" class="button-
                        primary" value="Log In" />
        <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" 
                       value="https://domain.org/" />
        </p>

    </form>
<?php } else { ?>
               <h4>Welcome to the Community!<h4>
  <?php } ?>

Solution

  • try this...

    if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
        wp_login_form();
    } else {
        echo '<h4>Welcome to the Community!</h4>';
    }
    

    You can also pass a configuration array to wp_login_form() See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_login_form
