Keep users from /wp-admin

    I have a buddypress login form in my sidebar and when a user types in the password or username wrong they get redirected to the /wp-admin

    How can I prevent that from happening?

    This works

    // hook failed login
add_action('wp_login_failed', 'my_front_end_login_fail'); 
 
function my_front_end_login_fail($username){
    // Get the reffering page, where did the post submission come from?
    $referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
 
    // if there's a valid referrer, and it's not the default log-in screen
    if(!empty($referrer) && !strstr($referrer,'wp-login') && !strstr($referrer,'wp-admin')){
        // let's append some information (login=failed) to the URL for the theme to use
        wp_redirect($referrer . '?login=failed'); 
    exit;
    }
}

    You can put all of your custom BP snippets in your theme’s functions.php. Alternatively, if you plan to swap themes regularly, they can go into your bp-custom.php file (if you don’t have one of these already, you can create one).
