Using wp-login.php

  • I am using wordpress theme P2.

    I have it setup where you have to login (using wp-login.php) before they enter the site.

    I am fairly new to PHP and trying to get it to work with some other database pages that I have created.

    What I am searching for or trying to figure out is how wordpress on wp-login.php stores the user’s information once logged in. I am assuming it has to create a string with the “id”.

    Is this done using cookies or sessions? I don’t see the line that this is in!

    If what I am asking for is not clear please let me know!

    Thanks for your help!

    Still looking for help!

    I have googled this and can’t seem to find an answer.

    I thought doing a custom page template would solve this problem but it doesn’t seem that the P2 theme lets you do a custom page templete??

    I am trying to have some custom pages that have other features other then what WordPress can offer.

    The problem is that this is a protected site so it has a login page so I need wordpress and my custom pages to interact together so they don’t have to login twice. I can’t seem to find out how to get the user id from wordpress’s login page!

    Anybody have any ideas on how I can go about this!

    If you need any other information please let me know!

    Thanks for the help!
