wpmem_login_form_defaults

Description

Filters the login form defaults for heading, action, button text, redirect_to (if used), and the field elements (such as label text).

Introduced in 3.3.0, it replaces wpmem_inc_login_inputs and wpmem_inc_login_args, both of which should be considered deprecated.

Parameters

$args (array)

/*
@param array $args {
    @type string $heading      The form heading
    @type string $action       The form action (do not change unless you know what you are doing)
    @type string $button_text  The form submit button text
    @type string $redirect_to  The $redirect_to parameter
    @type array  $inputs {
        An array of inputs, there will be one array element for each form input, keyed starting with [0].
    
        @type string $name   The field label
        @type string $type   The field type
        @type string $tag    The field meta tag
        @type string $class  The CSS class
        @type string $div
    }
}
*/

Usage

// An example of changing a single major element.
add_filter( 'wpmem_login_form_defaults', function( $args ) {
    $args['heading'] = "Log in here";
    return $args;
});

// An example of changing a single field input element.
add_filter( 'wpmem_login_form_defaults', function( $args ) {
    $args['inputs'][0]['name'] = "Email";
    return $args;
});

// An example of changing multiple elements.
add_filter( 'wpmem_login_form_defaults', function( $args ) {
    $args['heading'] = "Log in here";
    $args['button_text'] = "Click to log in";
    $args['inputs'][0]['name'] = "Email";
    return $args;
});

Notes

  • The “inputs” are a subarray in the overall array. It is a numerically keyed array starting at 0. Each input is in the array in display order. For example, in the default login form, the username/email input is [0] and the password is [1], in the password change form, password is [0] and confirm password is [1], etc.

Changelog

Introduced in version 3.3.0

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.
