Workaround 3rd party captcha or authentication that does not load on the front end

Chad Butler · Feb 1, 2023 ·

/**
 * This snippet returns the authentication to its WP native
 * state if there is no $_POST['wp-submit'] (which is the 
 * native WP login submission button).
 *
 * Note: The priority (99 in the example) may have to be adjusted
 *       to a later priority (i.e. higher number) depending on
 *       when the third party plugin fires its custom authenticate
 *       filter function.  If the plugin fires at a higher priority
 *       number, you'll need to adjust this to a value higher than 
 *       that.  For example, if the plugin runs at priority 1000, 
 *       then your reapplication of WP's authentication needs to 
 *       run at 1001 or higher.
 */
if ( ! isset( $_POST['wp-submit'] ) ) {
    add_filter( 'authenticate', 'wp_authenticate_username_password', 99, 3 );
}

Not sure what to do with this code?

You're not a "coder" and don't know what to do? Don't worry! Code Snippets are the basic building blocks of WordPress customization, and once you know the basics, they are simple to use.

Here are some free articles to get you started:

  • Using Code Snippets from the Site
  • Using a code snippets plugin
  • The functions.php File
  • Create a plugin file for custom functions
  • Create a child theme
  • Do not modify plugin files!

For "hands on" help, consider a plugin support subscription or the Pro Bundle.
