    Hi!

    I searched the forums for answers but I can’t seem to find a code that works. I’m trying to achieve the following:

    1. replace wp-login. basically, if a user accesses a page that requires a login, then the UM login page should be served (instead of wp-login)
    2. at the same time, the user should be redirected back to the page he/she was trying to access (instead of to profile or fixed URL) after a successful login.

    Thank you!

    Hi @buging

    You can try this code to redirect from wp-login to /login/ page:

    add_action('init', 'prevent_wp_login');
function prevent_wp_login() {
    // WP tracks the current page - global the variable to access it
    global $pagenow;
    // Check if a $_GET['action'] is set, and if so, load it into $action variable
    $action = (isset($_GET['action'])) ? $_GET['action'] : '';
    // Check if we're on the login page, and ensure the action is not 'logout'
    if( $pagenow == 'wp-login.php' && ( ! $action || ( $action && ! in_array($action, array('logout', 'lostpassword', 'rp', 'resetpass'))))) {
        // Load the UM Login URL
        $page = um_get_core_page("login");
        // Redirect to the home page
        wp_redirect($page);
        // Stop execution to prevent the page loading for any reason
        exit();
    }
}

    2. To redirect a user back to the previous page, your Login link should have the redirect_to parameter with previous page URL.
    e.g. <a href="yoursiteurl.com/login/?redirect_to=<current page URL>Login</a>
