Theme My Login Plugin

Posted by Jeff on July 01, 2009 at 06:07 pm

I’m sure everyone, at one point or another, has wished that their WordPress login, registration and forgot password pages would match the rest of their website. Well, with my new Theme My Login plugin, this is possible. This free WordPress plugin intercepts the wp-login.php page and the profile.php page, overriding them with a new themed page to match the rest of your website, while completely hiding the back-end from subscribers. No complicated setup, just plug-and-play!

Features

Your registration, log in and password recovery pages will all match the rest of your website
Includes a customizable widget to login anywhere from your blog
Redirect users upon log in based on their role
Show gravatar to users who are logged in
Assign custom links to users who are logged in based on their role
Customize user emails for registration and/or password recovery
Send user emails in HTML format
Allow users to set their own password upon registration
Require users to be approved upon registration
Theme user profiles

I have been using “Theme my Login” and love it. However I have added “Register Plus” plugin so my users can create their own password when they register.
The problem: the text “a password will be emailed to you” still appears when using “Theme my Login” but not if I use the default WP login page. I currently have it activated if you want to look.

Thanks

I don’t know if I’m the first to report this but I just upgraded to the newest version and my widgets sidebar (admin side) disappeared.

Hi Jeff,
I love the plugin, thanks for working so hard on it! I’m working on a few changes to it that will add a setting to display both the login & registration forms on one page, as well as check if BuddyPress is installed, and if so, display the BP registration page instead of the default registration page.

Email me, and I’ll send you the .zip of the plugin after my changes, I think other users will want this functionality too

Comment by Jason DeVelvis — July 12, 2009 #
Hey, and thanks for this absolutely necessary plugin. I just wanted to tell you that upgrading to 3.0.1, does not give you the feature to theme the profile page anymore, like in the older version. Probably I am missing something?

Good luck!

Comment by Ciprian — July 12, 2009 #
Hi, Jeff. It is great plug-in, but I don’t understand, how it works with profile pages. They still open in admin panel. Maybe I’m doing smth wrong?

Comment by CyberWombat — July 14, 2009 #
As of version 2.2, profile themeing has been removed. I am working on a separate project for that, entitled Theme My Profile. Expect to see it released very soon. In fact, the initial release version is ready, just waiting on WordPress to put me in the repository.

Comment by Jeff — July 14, 2009 #
Jeff,

I just wanted to thank you for providing a solution to a problem I was having, one that I spent hours trying to address.

I installed my wp.org release in the wordpress subdirectory off of the root. I did not want others to see that they were getting routed to the wordpress subdirectory on the URLs. I was able to fix the index.php for the initial visits, but the login and register pages were still showing up as wordpress.

I opened up a post a few days ago and published my problem. Shortly thereafter, I stumbled across your Theme My Login plugin. It looked interesting, so I installed it. Low and behold – IT FIXED MY PROBLEM!

I updated the posting so others could see how to resolve this dilema the other week. I’m sure there are others out there besides me. As an entry level HS student, I don’t have much cash, so the only thing I can do is plug your stuff – Big Time!

Thanks so much.

Regards,
Amy

I can’t say how impressed I am with this plugin.

Thanks you have done a great job.

Comment by Leigh — July 15, 2009 #
For some reason, the plugin has completely stopped working. When it’s activated, the “login” page is a 404 Error, and when deactivated, the “login” page is normal, except where the form should be it just says [theme my login].

I don’t know what I did to break it. I imported posts/authors/pages from another WP blog and I replaced two core WP files (functions.php and wpmu_functions.php) as recommended by WP to fix a 2.8.1 bug.

If I switch themes, the same thing happens, so I know it’s not a theme problem.

Someone, please help.

It doesn’t logout if pages are cached when users are logged in with WP-Super Cache plugin enabled. Everything else just works fantastic.

If “Don’t cache pages for logged in users.” is ticked with in WP-Super Cache it works okey and log users out perfectly but if it is not ticked users remain logged in even if they click logout links many times.

Just a note it may help developer.

Hey man, Great plugin!!!

My new self registered users get two emails though .. both from the email template I created in your settings page. One with their self defined password and one with a random generated password.

Any ideas on how to get back to just their self set password?

How can one register to your forum? I could not find any link to the “register” page.

Comment by Sourena — September 7, 2009 #
Hi,
This plugin sounds great but i have some questions :

1 – How can we register to your blog/forum ? (there must be a missing link to do it). Idea: Why not using your own plugin ?

2 – Where can i find the .pot, mo and so on ? The “language” directory is empty in the zip file.

Thanks a lot & regards.

i am using this plugin and updated some css and profile issues but the major issue i thought is as it overrides the original wordpress login .. which actually sends a random password to user to it’s mail .. so automatically it verifies the mail .. but when user register with his own password , the email is not verified then ..

please can we make this changes that it sends a verification link .. to mail and which on clicking activates user account

I’m using ver.4.3.2 with BP 1.1.3.
The Theme My Plugin seems to break BP registeration’s validation key. Because user can register, but was unable to get it verified when they clicked on the validation link send to their email. Once I deactivate this plugin, everything is ok.

Also I’m looking at ways to change the register link in the my login box to point to BP register page instead of WPMU’s signup page.

Thanks

So let’s try again!

The TML plugin intereferes with the GD Press Tools plugin robot meta tag generator. There’s an option in GD Press Tools to set the login page as noindex nofollow.

With TML installed, it blinds the GD Press Tools to treat EVERYTHING as a login page setting and everything gets a noindex nofollow setting. Thus completely ignoring other custom robot tag settings for other pages on my blog that should be generated by the GD Press Tools plugin.

Anyone know how to fix this because unfortunetly, GS Press Tools plugin takes precedence over the TML plugin

Comment by roger — January 2, 2010 #
Well, I had to deactivate and delete this awesome plugin due to the fact it messes with robot meta tag generation. So it is pointless to send a donation (as I have for other plugins I use).

I spent all day trying to figure out how to make it work with different settings of TML to have the robot meta tag generator work (even different combination of setting for the robot meta tag generator), but to no avail.

TML makes all pages look like a login page and no matter how I set the robot tags for other pages, it seems that whatever I have setup for login page is the setting for ALL pages. What a shame! I was really excited about TML!

Comment by roger — January 3, 2010 #
Thank you for an awesome plugin – Works a treat!

I do however feel although being one of the easiest plugins I’ve used, it could be improved for greater flexibility. May I suggest the following:

• An option to enable reCaptcha for those who have keys.
• Optional extra form fields for a more accurate data capture
• A password strength meter would be a bonus
• More importantly getting new users to activate their account via the confirmation email (Register Plus has a good feature for this).

I would then indefinately donate for this plugin

All just ideas of course!

Thanks for making an amazing plugin.

One suggestion, if one puts the widget in the footer and submits the form with an error or clicks on the forgot password link, the page reloads and the error and form are not visible as they are not at the top of the page.

I corrected the issue by adding a name anchor with a check to only jump to the anchor if the instance is a widget and not the page.

I’m sure you can easily add the code yourself or if you want I can send you the file to save time.

Sounds like a really cool plugin, but there does seem to be a few technical issues raised. I’d love to add something like this but wouldn’t want to cause myself problems for a ‘want’ not ‘need’ plugin.

I’ve been looking for cool plugins that make wordpress blogs easier to use, is this one of them?

I’d like to add it to myWP Autotools section but wouldn’t want to bewilder newbies with technicalities
