#login-form URL

Hello,

How do I change login URL to HTTPS?

Thanks!

Hi,

And thanks for the feedback. It is NOT about moving the whole site to SSL. Just the #login-form process is not working. Headaches! No problem with “theme-my-login” plugin before I switched theme. This plugin is disabled BTW…
What I need is just the LOGIN URL to go HTTPS (for some reason it is not happening). I use /wp-login.php straight for login. I am not sure how to fix the issue. This is the only solution that comes into mind at this point. Been struggling with the issue for over a month now…

Thanks!

Hi there,

I think I had the same issue as you do since I didn’t move the whole site to SSL.

In such case, the login form should not be available through HTTP or users will login via HTTP. It will work but what’s the point in having SSL and have the users to login via HTTP? If define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true); is set in wp-config.php, then the login will fail if made on HTTP. That’s what was happening to you, I think. It was happening to me.

To overcome this and still use the theme’s beautiful login window you have to customize the theme:

– make the header detect if user is not logged in and is connecting through http. If so, instead of printing the log in form as usual, the theme prints a link to the HTTPS version of the current page and adds a request o open the login window automatically.

– make the footer catch the request to automatically open the login window

– change td-login.php file to set the https cookie wp_signon($credentials, true);

Here have a look at it working and if you want I can put here all the details. Click login on the top left menu and you will be redirected to https and have the login window thrown at the screen:
