Hi,
No specific page, it is the Frontier Post page.
If you want to change the text, you can cheat by making a translation change – ex. Use POEdit
How can users login from the frontend?
Is it possible to let the “please log in” text link to the login page?
Thanks

I am using the plugin: Theme My Login
About adding a login link, I will consider to add this as an option

I changed the text by translating, but where does it take the —- signs before and after the text? They were not in the translation file.
But is there any way to add also a page with some text and login form?

Added option for this in 2.1.0
New setting
Please make the login link redirect back to the my-posts page after login. It’s dumping users into the backend, which will only cause confusion and defeat the purpose of using the frontend in the first place. I made the change locally, but would love to have it be permanent. Thanks! 🙂

I can see your point.
I am using Theme My Login plugin to handle login.
Can I ask how you did the change locally.
I only did a quick proof of concept and did not take the time to code it properly, but I went to frontier-post.php around line 102 in the code and added the redirect portion of the link. Something like this:
if ($frontier_show_login == "true" )
echo __("Please log in !", "frontier-post")." <a href=".wp_login_url()."?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2FEXAMPLE.COM%2Fmy-posts%2F&reauth=1>".__("Login Page", "frontier-post")."</a> ";
else
_e("Please log in !", "frontier-post");
Of course, this should not be hardcoded. The base URL and page that the frontier shortcode resides at should be done programmically, I just didn’t take the time to do this. But you can see the gist of it at least.
This is probably a better way to code this:
echo __("Please log in !", "frontier-post")." <a href=".wp_login_url()."?redirect_to=".get_permalink(get_option('frontier_post_page_id')).">".__("Login Page", "frontier-post")."</a> ";
One other quick suggestion would be to add a logout link or button at the bottom in case the admin bar is not displayed and to make it more obvious to log out when finished.

Things are easy when you know how to do them, thanks I will implement in next release
I wasnt aware of the rediect_to parameter
As for the logout, I would suggest using a widget link for that – I am using Theme My Login
