I’m really trying to accomplish getting a login/register form WITHIN a page on my blog. Is there any way to do this? Or is there even a plugin to accomplish this?

I figured it out – you need to replace:

wp_admin_css( ‘login’, true );
wp_admin_css( ‘colors-fresh’, true );

with:

make sure that the php tags are closed, just in case it breaks.

Just to let you know – the link to jameskelly is blocked by firefox as a malicious site. Someone probably either hijacked his domain or he’s been infected by a worm.. someone should let him know.

I’ve found only two instances of “css” in the wp-login.php file.

wp_admin_css( ‘login’, true );
wp_admin_css( ‘colors-fresh’, true );
do_action(‘login_head’);

So, right now, I can’t figure out how to accomplish this mega-cool task. Frankly, the login page could just be a post…no?

Best,

I did the same with my blog at:

http://www.untouchablesunderground.com/dojo/wp-login.php

It’s actually pretty easy.

There’s a line of code in the wp-login file that goes something like this: admin.css…

Look for that line and delete it.

And, replace with with a link to your site’s stylesheet.

Voila!!

You’ll notice your login will already look much more like your site. Then, as Teli said, just look for the header/body/footer/html inside all that code and play with it a little.

My approach was to make two copies of the wp-login file and use one as my back-up and just play around with the other one until I figure out what did what.

[EDIT: HTML code is stripped out by WordPress unless the brackets are properly escaped.]

You can play with those sections to add changes to each of the 3 parts of wp-login.

Could you articulate the way you approached modifying the wp-login.php and the wp-register.php files, especially if you have a side bar?

Thanks, Steve
