Simple Login Custom

Simple Login Custom lets you drop a custom login and registration form on any page with shortcodes, then style it from Settings → Custom Login Settings. No page builder required.

Key Features:

• Custom Login Form: Display a login form with [customlogin_form] and match it to your site colors, width, and border.
• Live preview (1.8.0): The Style tab shows the form and the login link as you type. Nothing is saved until you click the matching Save button. The preview never submits a real login.
• Custom Login Link: [customlogin_link] prints a sentence with a styled link that can scroll to the form.
• Style Customization: Colors use the native WordPress color picker. Width, padding, and border values accept CSS lengths only (for example 400px or 1em).
• Recent Login Tracking: From version 1.5.0, administrators can review the ten most recent successful logins (user, time, IP, user agent).
• Built-in Registration: Optional registration on the same shortcode, with a client-side password strength meter (1.7.0).
• SIRET/DUNS Verification: Optional company checks during registration. SIRET uses the INSEE Sirene API key (from 1.6.7). DUNS is a local match against the number you stored in settings.
• Welcome Banner and Email: After a successful registration, a banner is shown and a plain-text welcome email is sent.
• Anti-Viral Mode (WP 7.0): From version 1.7.0, optional self-deprecating reminders in the admin for whoever installed the plugin — not shown to visitors.

How It Works:

• Go to Settings → Custom Login Settings to style the form, edit the login-link sentence, enable registration, and configure SIRET/DUNS.
• Place [customlogin_form] on any page or post.
• Place [customlogin_link] where you want a “please log in” sentence.

Installation:

1. Install from Plugins → Add New, or copy the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate Simple Login Custom.
3. Open Settings → Custom Login Settings. Adjust the live preview, then save.

Recommended Plugins

To improve user experience and the ergonomics of your site, here are plugins we recommend for their synergy with Simple Login Custom:

It allows users to click links to scroll the page to a specific element, which is ideal for content-heavy pages or single-page sites. Compatibility with Simple Login Custom ensures that even after a login or redirect, users can still navigate effectively.

• LoginWP (Formerly Peter’s Login Redirect): Designed to manage redirects after login or logout, LoginWP is essential for customizing the login experience. You can redirect users to different pages based on their roles, capabilities, or even specific rules. This strengthens security by preventing unauthorized access to sections of the site and integrates perfectly with Simple Login Custom for a smooth and secure login experience.
