Need my own login page

I have purchased the pro plugin and have the login widget capability. I have seem many posts asking about this but none that seem to be answering my question directly:

I am wanting to create a login page within my site (a page with the login form on it)…not the login page that you can customize with a logo and background colors, etc. I do not want a sidebar widget either.

I understand that I should use this in my template:

echo s2member_pro_login_widget();

What I don’t understand is how I can get s2member to not redirect to wp-login.php

When a user tries to go to a member only page, I want them to be able to be able to login using a form on that page.

if (!is_user_logged_in()) {  echo s2member_pro_login_widget();  }

I’ve used this in the template for that page but it still redirects to wp-login. How do I make it use my own page?

Thanks.

Thanks for your inquiry. ~ We appreciate your patience :-)

All of s2Member’s login functionality is ultimately routed through /wp-login.php for the best compatibility with other plugins/themes. Using the Pro Login Widget is no different. If you want to achieve something like this, you might try an AJAX powered solution.

<?php sidebarlogin(); ?>
