Setting up Login page

    Hello those of you who are very kind to help.

    I’ve been away from my site for a few weeks and now I’ve returned to complete the setup. Current situation:
    • Domain: boazruth.com
    • Landing page: boazruth.com
    • Login page: boazruth.com/wp-login.php
    • Activity streams: boazruth.com/community
    • Using Buddypress Membes Only Pro plugin to lockdown members-only pages.

    Seeking this outcome:
    * Want boazruth.com to be the landing and login page.
    * Want members to be directed to the activity stream (boazruth.com/community) after logging in.
    * Want to customize the login page and have it on the landing page.
    * Thus, boazruth.com will be the landing & login page, and boazruth.com/community will be the activity page. All other BP components (Profile, Friends, etc) are in the top tab.

    Questions:
    1) (a) Can I customize the login page so it does NOT show the basic WP login?
    (b) Sometimes when using Incognito, the login page shows “https://boazruth.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fboazruth.com%2F”. Does this indicate an error somewhere?
    (c) Can I use the Divi theme to customize the landing page (boazruth.com) so it has the login form on it?

    2) When a member goes to the site (boazruth.com) to enter, after logging only a blank page shows. They have to select “Community” from the top menu. How can I re-direct the member to the Community page?

    3) Do you have a recommendation to secure members-only pages? I tried Buddypress Lock but it seemed not to have the functionality I need (unless I did not fully understand its capabilities).

    Hi Glenn,

    (a) There are a number of plugins that allow you to customise the WordPress Login page. https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-login/

    (b) No I don’t think so, this is indicating that Incognito is redirecting login.php to another page.

    (c) There’s a number of plugins that will allow you to put the login form into a widget for example, you could use one of these to put the login form on any page you like. https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/login-widget/

    2. Maybe you could try: https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirect-after-login/

    3. There’s a number of BP privacy plugins, they tend to work in different ways so it’s really a case of checking out a few to see if they deliver what you need. I personally tend to use a modified version of BP Members Only. I modified it so that posts are not private.
