Changing the form/template/s
-
Firstly, thanks for this very useful plugin.
I have changed the forms displayed on my site by modifying the code under plugins/clean-login/. This is clearly not ideal, as with every upgrade I have to re-change those files.
If the form template was included as a proper template/ then it would be possible to override it using the standard wordpress theme/template/ method. Do you have plans to support a proper template?
Have I missed something obvious and is there a reliable way to override the form structure without changing the plugin code directly?
Many thanks in advance.

hi Alberto,
very much appreciate the fast response. However, it’s still not clear to me exactly what you mean.
I have a child theme, and I want modify the form template which is displayed via clean-login. I do NOT want to simply mark one element “invisible” via CSS. I want to change the displayed form substantially, and with the otherwise excelleng clean-login plugin it seems I have to modify the code, or override a hook or somesuch, which seems overkill (so I’m probably wrong).
Perhaps I’m showing my ignorance here, but I’d appreciate a little clear guidance or maybe a docs/examples where the correct way to do this (preferably with the child-theme) is explained…?

Alberto,
to be clearer what I mean: it’s not the display of the form I wish to change. I need to change the structure of the form. If clean-login used templates, this would be naturally be a simple solution via the child-theme. My problem is that because clean-login does not use overrideable templates my child-theme cannot override your form structure.
It is possible I do not understand your original answer, and I would appreciate a little assistance with this, please.
Many thanks in advance
hi Alberto,
yes, <slaps head>, and I stand fully corrected. Thank you for putting me on the (obvious and) correct path. For some reason I was looking at the files with *.php and not seeing the templates (*.php) which were looking right back at me. I can only apologize for wasting your time on my wild goose chase.
Many thanks for your prompt and helpful assistance!
Richard
