How to stop BuddyPress Menu Login link redirecting to wp-admin

Hi Folks,

Please can you let me know the solution to stop the BuddyPress Menu Login link redirecting to wp-admin.

Sure, I could create a custom link in the Menu settings, but then the link wouldn’t automatically disappear from the menu when a user is logged in. However, the BuddyPress login link does disappear when a user is logged in (and it also auto-changes to ‘log out’), but this is the same menu link that takes a user to login at /wp-admin page instead of /login.

How can I get the /login page to load?

To save you some time, I’m not very good with php, so please don’t send me a long script; you will only be wasting your efforts. If that’s the only way, then please say so, and I will think of another solution 🙂

Thanks in advance for your help.

the default login page is the wp-admin one. You will need custom plugin / code to change the default login to /login , many plugins already do this like WooCommerce or Pmpro.

Thank you so much!

Yes, I am using a plugin to hide the login page, which has worked wonders for many years, and obviously wish to keep it hidden. I will check Pmpro and similar plugins because I don’t use Woo.

Thanks : )

As an addition, I find it mildly frustrating that I can add a link to an image inside a post template which, when clicked on, opens up /login; the exact page I need.

So, why can a link in an image open /login, but a menu link can’t without getting down and dirty with php? Things like this should be very simple, but no…

Wordpress is really weird, haha!
