    Hello community,

    when I typ a wrong password or wrong username/email no error-message “The username or password you entered is incorrect.” appears.

    The website url only change to /?login=fail with the code

    add_action( ‘wp_login_failed’, ‘my_login_fail’ );
    function my_login_fail( $username ) {
    $referrer = $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]; // where did the post submission come from?
    // if there’s a valid referrer, and it’s not the default log-in screen
    if ( !empty($referrer) && !strstr($referrer,’wp-login’) && !strstr($referrer,’wp-admin’) ) {
    wp_redirect( $referrer . ‘?login=failed’ ); // let’s append some information (login=failed) to the URL for the theme to use
    exit;
    }
    }

    Maybe you have a solutions for this. Please help!

    Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards,

    Johannes

    Hey @yourkinkz do you have any other login/registration/security plugins installed that might be interfering? WPUM doesn’t redirect to that URL

    Hello Plugin Author,

    I have implemented the previously mentioned code to redirect to that URL otherwise it directs with wrong password login to our homepage..

    I use the Astra Theme.

    I use another plugins like BuddyPress and Youzify for the Forum and Profile-page not for login/registration.

    Today I find out that the Youzify plugin interfering with the WP User Manager, when I deactivate Youzify the error-message “Authentication failed” appears.

    The problem is I need Youzify.. how can I show the error-message then and how can I translate the message because I don´t see it in the loco translate plugin.

    The problem with redirection to the homepage url is solved and no other code is needed.

    Problem has been solved with the Youzify-Plugin.
    If you use another plugin to handle Login and Registration for, you can disable Youzify form by turn off Youzify Membership. It’s on Youzify Panel >> General Settings.
