Custom Login Url with plain permalink format

    Hello,

    I am having troubles getting the custom login url to work. This is what I have so far:

    //Custom Login URL
    function my_login_page( $login_url, $redirect ) {
    return site_url( ‘/?page_id=2487’);
    }
    add_filter( ‘login_url’, ‘my_login_page’, 10, 2 );

    For some reason, when the question mark is after the slash, Force Login seems to break. When the question mark is not there, so it looks like :

    return site_url( ‘/page_id=2487’);

    Force login will try to direct me to this url : mydomain.com/page_id=2487, which doesn’t work.

    Thanks!

    I think this may be an Auth0 problem actually. I currently have the Auth0 plugin installed, which takes over the WordPress login..

    I suspect this isn’t working because you’re using a query string ?page_id= as the custom login URL. Are you not able to configure a mod_rewrite to use a “pretty permalink?”

    And since Force Login is using the builtin WordPress function wp_login_url( $redirect ) to get the login URL to redirect to –?while also passing a $redirect URL for after a successful login –?it might be having trouble appending a second query string to the login URL for the after login $redirect URL.

    Have you tried using the get_permalink() function instead of the site_url() function to specify your custom login URL?

    //Custom Login URL
function my_login_page( $login_url, $redirect ) {
    return get_permalink( 2487 );
}
add_filter( 'login_url', 'my_login_page', 10, 2 );

    Otherwise, I suggest using mod_rewrite and your .htaccess file to create a custom login URL that works without the ?page_id= query string.

    Hmm, so we tried to use get_permalink, and actually for both ways, if I try to just access mydomain.com/wp-login.php it will redirect me to my custom url.

    The problem is that if I try accessing a blocked page directly, Force Login seems to break so I’m not directed to a login page. I think the problem with using mod_rewrite and .htaccess is that I’m using mydomain.com/wp-login.php?wle to login to my admin dashboard since I have the Auth0 plugin installed.

    Can you be more specific about what is happening? Are you getting a PHP error –?if so, what does it say? What exactly is happening when it “breaks?”

    If you disable the Auth0 plugin, does everything work as expected? If so, then yes –?the issue is caused by a conflict with that plugin.

    Sorry, when I said breaks, I meant that I was able to access the page without having to login.

    Nevermind, I just configured some Auth0 stuff, so I got it working.

    Thanks!
