Modify the user log in form for comm events when log in is required to post

[Denon]

Hi,

I am using community events on my calendar. Currently I have it set to require users be logged in to post events.

However, I’m also using a plugin suite to handle my user-registration.

When a site user goes to post a community event and they’re not logged in it brings up a ill-formed user log-in form which has a text link to “register” for the site. (see image)

1) Ideally, I’d like to be able to redirect non-signed in users to a different page on my site that tells people to sign up for an account or sign in rather than the canned user log in/registration option which pulls the native Word Press user handlers. If you’re able to assist with pointing unregistered users to a different page to register, that would be great.

2) If that’s not possible, I’d like to be able to be able to know where this login/registration page is so I can change the link for where the “register” link points to. I do not want my users using the Word Press user registration form. If I can know the location of the file that’s pulling this page I can modify the link to register.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Denon.

Thanks for your detailed question.

I looked into the code and Line 1648 of Community Events version 4.2.5 is where the plugin’s login form code is. It just uses wp_login_form() and doesn’t have a setting for using your own login page.

And the “Register” link uses wp_register(), which does have the register filter available to it to customize where that link goes.

I hope this helps.
