Here’s an example of filtering the `login_url` to specify a custom one:
add_filter( 'login_url', 'smyles_custom_login_url', 10, 3 ); /** * Filters the login URL. * * @since 2.8.0 * @since 4.2.0 The `$force_reauth` parameter was added. * * @param string $login_url The login URL. Not HTML-encoded. * @param string $redirect The path to redirect to on login, if supplied. * @param bool $force_reauth Whether to force reauthorization, even if a cookie is present. * * @return string */ function smyles_custom_login_url( $login_url, $redirect, $force_reauth ){ // This will append /custom-login/ to you main site URL as configured in general settings (ie https://domain.com/custom-login/) $login_url = site_url( '/custom-login/', 'login' ); if ( ! empty( $redirect ) ) { $login_url = add_query_arg( 'redirect_to', urlencode( $redirect ), $login_url ); } if ( $force_reauth ) { $login_url = add_query_arg( 'reauth', '1', $login_url ); } return $login_url; }Expand full source codeCollapse full source code
Tested this login_url filter and it works fine for login links on the website, for example on blog pages.
The filter will not work for a browser URL like /wp-login.php.
This can be useful in case you have a custom login form for subscribers, while administrators still login with the WordPress core login form when two-factor authentication is enabled.
A custom login form like those of User Registration plugin will not work with 2FA. This is where the core login form is still useful.
Examples migrated from Codex:
The following example would return a login URL http://example.com/my-login-page/ for the
wp_login_url()function:add_filter( 'login_url', 'my_login_page', 10, 3 ); function my_login_page( $login_url, $redirect, $force_reauth ) { return home_url( '/my-login-page/?redirect_to=' . $redirect ); }Same as above, but uses the
add_query_arg()function for adding the redirect_to parameter and is expanded for readability.add_filter( 'login_url', 'my_login_page', 10, 3 ); function my_login_page( $login_url, $redirect, $force_reauth ) { $login_page = home_url( '/my-login-page/' ); $login_url = add_query_arg( 'redirect_to', $redirect, $login_page ); return $login_url; }
