* Hello,
* I use the shortcode “wppb-login” to a php template.
When I don’t fill a field,
I got the message “ERROR: password field is empty.”
* But when I write a wrong username or password I don’t have any message. My page
just reload.
So it’s litle bite disturbing, user don’t know if it’s a bug or
an error.
* How can I activate a message like “Username or password incorect”.
* Thanks for your help,

* Hi,
* Did you set up some restrictions regarding wp-login.php? Are you using a plugin
called [Jonradio Private Site](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-private-site/)?
* When trying to login using wrong credentials this is the error message that should
be displayed: _ERROR: Invalid username or email. Lost your password?_
* Did you tried to deactivate all other plugins and use a default WordPress theme?
Maybe there is a theme/plugin conflict.
* Best regards,

* Yes its a probleme with genesis custom template. I don’t know how to fix this.
In my template I use this code, can it be a problem ?
* // Fonction to connect the user
function user_not_logged() { echo ‘Se connecter
’; echo do_shortcode(‘[wppb-login]’); echo ‘’; echo ‘Retrouver
son mot de passe
’; echo do_shortcode(‘[wppb-recover-password]’); echo ‘’; echo ‘Créer son compte
’; echo do_shortcode(‘[wppb-register]’);
* //end user_not_logged
}
