FAQ
- Will this work with my theme?
-
Yes. The default template is extremely simple and should fit in with most any theme. You can also add a custom template to your theme.
- How do I customize the front door?
-
You can copy the
login.php
file from the<plugin-directory>/templates/
to your theme directory and customize it to your needs. Do not edit the<plugin-directory>/templates/login.php
file directly, as it could be overwritten by later plugin updates. - What happens if I go directly to an admin URL?
-
Admin pages bypass the front door. For example, if you go to http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/ and you are not logged in, you will be redirected to http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php by the default WordPress behavior. This is to prevent the site admin from accidentally locking themselves out of their site by specifying a custom front door page with no login form.
