# Hooks & Filters – Custom Functionality for Custom Forms

 * I have a fontend login form where I want to remove certain features that are 
   enabled on the built-in WordPress Login form ( `/wp-admin/` ). I was wondering
   if there is a list of Hooks and Filters somewhere so I can try and find the best
   solution.
 * For example, I have enabled the locking out of usernames that do not exist. This
   is great on the built-in login form but I don’t want this functionality for the
   custom front-end form so I would like to remove it if possible ( among other 
   things ). I looked at the FAQ which lead to some general support docs but I didn’t
   see any kind of documentation on hooks and filters.
 * Does anyone have suggestions or can point me in a general direction? Worst comes
   to worst I can dig through the plugins code but I’d rather not as I imagine it’s
   pretty meaty.

 * Hi, I am not sure what you are trying to do. I don’t think this plugin has anything
   to do with your custom login forms.
 * Can you provide more explanation.
 * Thank you

 * I’m using this plugin to manage login attempts. By using `wp_login_form()` it
   logs those same attempts and in turn locks people out. I’m looking for a filter
   where I can change the number attempts for the `wp_login_form()` so the Normal
   WordPress ( `wp-login.php` ) login form has a low number of attempts before being
   locked out and the custom `wp_login_form()` ( front-end facing form ) has a higher
   number of attempts before the user is locked out.
 * Either way I was looking for a list of hooks and filters or some documentation
   if it exists?

 * Thank you for clarifying what you are doing. I have submitted a message to the
   plugin developers to help you out.
 * Kind regards

 * Hi,
    We currently don’t have documentation for hooks and filters. I think that’s
   because there aren’t really many of them but I know for sure there is no hook
   for what you describe. We will investigate to see how best to add such a hook.
