Solution:
I think I understand what you are trying to achieve. You want to be able to display the reason login failed on your own custom login page. I assume you already know how to fetch the $_GET
parameters, since you are using that to pass your login_failed
parameter.
Use the login_redirect
filter instead:
add_filter('login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3);
function my_login_redirect($redirect_to, $requested_redirect_to, $user) {
if (is_wp_error($user)) {
//Login failed, find out why...
$error_types = array_keys($user->errors);
//Error type seems to be empty if none of the fields are filled out
$error_type = 'both_empty';
//Otherwise just get the first error (as far as I know there
//will only ever be one)
if (is_array($error_types) && !empty($error_types)) {
$error_type = $error_types[0];
}
wp_redirect( get_permalink( 93 ) . "?login=failed&reason=" . $error_type );
exit;
} else {
//Login OK - redirect to another page?
return home_url();
}
}
