Adding a Login option for my members

#1

Hi I got S2 Member Pro.

How do I add a login link for my members?

I added a Login option to my menu and than on cpanel redirected www…com/login to www…com/wp-login.php but it’s not redirecting?

Thanks
Russ

If your standard login is not wp-login.php, then you are running something other than core WordPress which is making that change. You’ll need to figure out what that is. s2Member uses core WordPress for logins and, as a rule, will not overwrite another theme or plugin that is changing that behavior.

I am using wp-login.php. but I’d like to make it easy for the members to login so i added a login page and i am trying to redirect it to /wp-login.php.

It seems confusing for members to login. They get an email with a link to wp-login.php but is there a way to put the link on the site’s menu?

You can simply add a Link to http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php to the menu just as you add any other link.You don’t need any plugins and you don’t need any special login pages.

If you are trying to override wp-login.php with your own login, that really has nothing to do with s2Member and there are plenty of tutorials available on the web on various ways to do that.

Finally, I don’t understand how it is confusing to Members to receive a link to wp-login.php to log in… That’s how WordPress works and WordPress powers 30% of the Web…

Ok forget the confusing part… from my point of view there should be an easier way. Most mebership sites have a login option

I just can’t seem to see where to set the link in the menu option in WP

I told you, except I forgot to use the word Custom. Create a Custom Link menu item and direct it to wp-login.php. That’s all you have to do.
