Creating login forms on your WordPress blog used to be a complicated task. Now, thanks to the wp_login_form() function, displaying login forms on your blog has become easier. But what about a shortcode? This is what I’m going to show you on today’s recipe.
Paste the code below into your functions.php file:
function devpress_login_form_shortcode() { if ( is_user_logged_in() ) return ''; return wp_login_form( array( 'echo' => false ) ); } function devpress_add_shortcodes() { add_shortcode( 'devpress-login-form', 'devpress_login_form_shortcode' ); } add_action( 'init', 'devpress_add_shortcodes' );
Once done, you can now use the shortcode as shown in the following example. Simply paste it on the post editor, where you want the login form to be displayed.
[devpress-login-form]
Thanks to DevPress for the cool tip!
