Sorry, info as follows:
Wordpress: 4.1.1
Buddypress: 2.1.1
I’m developing it on localhost, so no website link yet.
What do you mean by custom login form ? How did you this form ? Do you use a child-thme ? What is your actual theme name ?
So I’m using BuddyPress with Truemag. I want to just show a simple username, password login form – I don’t want it to be redirected to the WordPress login.
I’ve put the BuddyPress login menu item in my TrueMag menu – but when I click on it, it asks me to log into WordPress right now
And what is the problem ? With or without BuddyPress, you login to WordPress. 🙄
Perhaps reading this will help
Register and Activation Pages
Oh..so anyone vieweing my site will need to sign into wordpress? I wanted the wordpress backend to remain hidden
When BP is correctly setup, users don’t see the backend (except if you allowed them as author to use your blog or to create one).
It’s exactly the same as when you login on this forum.
