How Do I Create a Login Page for Free in WordPress?

Next, you’ll need to create a file called functions.php and place the following code inside of it:

function login() { require_once(‘login.php’); $email = $_POST[’email’]; $password = $_POST[‘password’]; $user = new WP_User(); $user->set_name(‘username’); $user->set_email( $email ); $user->set_password( $password ); $user->validate(); if ($user->validate()) { echo ‘Logged In!'; } else { echo ‘Invalid Email Address or Password'; } }

Finally, you’ll need to add a line to your theme’s functions.php file to include the login.php file:

include(‘login.php’);

Now, when a visitor enters their email address and password into the login form on your WordPress site, the login() function will check to see if the user’s information is valid. If it is, the function will output “Logged In!”; otherwise, it will output an error message.
