I am using an Active Directory integration plugin (Next Active Directory Integration – NADI). Not sure if there are conflicts with this theme or not. I am able to test the NADI configuration in the admin panel and it shows success. But I am not able to login with the login page, and the debug log does not update when I use the login page, suggesting that the login page is not using this 3rd party authentication plugin.
I thought that at one point I saw a toggle switch for using 3rd party login – I’ve been staring at screens all day, so I am not sure if that is actually a good recollection or not.
Does anyone else use this theme with NADI? Any suggestions on what to look for?
More on this.. when I use the wp-login.php page, the login does work properly against Active Directory.
Hi,
In the most cases this is a plugin conflict with untested plugins, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv Composer, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again to see if the login is working.
Let me know the results!
Thank you!
The Newspaper login does work, but I assume it has its own login code separate from the default WordPress login code?
If I try to login using the NewsPaper login, the login fails. But if I go to the wp-login.php page, I am able to login using my Active Directory user/password. At this point, my userID in the WP database has been updated with my current Active Directory password. If I then logout, and login again using the NewsPaper login – it is successful. It will be successful until my password in Active Directory changes, and I am trying to login with my new password.
The Active Directory plugin (NADI) has hooks into the WordPress login which validates a user’s credentials against Active Directory, and then updates the WordPress database with the userID and password (or just updates the password if the userID exists in WP already).
If Newspaper processes login requests differently, then the NADI plugin will not be compatible as the hooks won’t be there.
Am I correct in the assumption of how NewsPaper processes login? Is there any way to change this, or am I going to have to use the wp-login.php and disable the Sign in/Join link in the ThemePanel? I like the look of the NewsPaper login screen, but if it will never work with a plugin that validates against an LDAP directory, then I will use the default WP login method.
Hi,
The login from theme is a different code, so using plugins like the one you specific, will not work, if you want you can make a test, disable all non theme plugins and try again, then the login should work, if you want to use the plugin theme, the best solution will be to remove the login from the theme and use a link to the login from WordPress.
Thank you for your understanding!
Thanks – this is actually what I have done, and it works well enough. I created a new menu and used that in the top bar, and duplicated a login/logout link, and a profile link. The menu items look very similar to the items in the theme (just without decorative icons). And there is no modal for a login screen – which would have been nice, but I guess not possible without some significant code changes. I have used a login screen customizer to add some corporate styling to the login page.
Hi,
Indeed, the module popup can be achieved only with custom code/work also if the code in not set in a child theme the changes from theme file will be lost when you’ll update the theme.
Thank you!
