You must have seen WordPress Powered Websites with customized login page. Sometime you have to create new login page for your users and for a client required new and customized wp-admin page for login to the admin panel. There are different ways to customizes WordPress Login page template. If you use WordPress Plugin, there are some limitations, for example  activate plugin will not match your installed theme and provide less customization. So there is a need to create your own Custom wordpress login page template as part of you theme.

Creating a New Custom-login Page

First of  all create a new php template with “custom-login.php” name and upload it in WordPress Theme folder ( wparena.com/wp-content/themes/your-theme). Add following code before uploading or after uploading you can edit your page and add the codes.

I am not sharing my piece of code because my client have some restriction. Although  Oliver Dale have explained how-to-create-a-custom-login-page-for-your-wordpress-theme, but I am sharing Kannan‘s code from his post “Custom WordPress login without using a plugin“. There are few reason to mention Kannan’s work, first of all he use jQuery  to show login error messages without page-refresh and redirect to the homepage when he is not login.

< ?php
/*
Template Name: Custom Login
*/
global $user_ID;

if (!$user_ID) {

if($_POST){
//We shall SQL escape all inputs
$username = $wpdb->escape($_REQUEST['username']);
$password = $wpdb->escape($_REQUEST['password']);
$remember = $wpdb->escape($_REQUEST['rememberme']);

if($remember) $remember = “true”;
else $remember = “false”;
$login_data = array();
$login_data['user_login'] = $username;
$login_data['user_password'] = $password;
$login_data['remember'] = $remember;
$user_verify = wp_signon( $login_data, true );

if ( is_wp_error($user_verify) )
{
echo “<span class=”error”>Invalid username or password. Please try again!</span>”;
exit();
} else
{
echo “<script type=”text/javascript”>window.location=’”. get_bloginfo(‘url’) .”‘</script>”;
exit();
}
} else {

get_header();

?>
<div id=”container”>
<div id=”content”>

<!–?php the_title(); ?–>
<div id=”result”></div>

<!– To hold validation results –>
<form id=”wp_login_form” action=”" method=”post”>

<label>Username</label>
<input type=”text” name=”username” class=”text” value=”">
<label>Password</label>
<input type=”password” name=”password” class=”text” value=”">
<label>
<input name=”rememberme” type=”checkbox” value=”forever”>Remember me</label>
<input type=”submit” id=”submitbtn” name=”submit” value=”Login”>
</form>

<script type=”text/javascript”>
$(“#submitbtn”).click(function() {

$(‘#result’).html(‘<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/images/loader.gif” class=”loader” />’).fadeIn();
var input_data = $(‘#wp_login_form’).serialize();
$.ajax({
type: “POST”,
url: “<?php echo “http://” . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>”,
data: input_data,
success: function(msg){
$(‘.loader’).remove();
$(‘

}
});
return false;

});

</div>

<!–?php

get_footer();
}
}
else {
echo “<script type=’text/javascript’–>window.location=’”. get_bloginfo(‘url’) .”‘”;
}
?>

Because we are using jQuery, so never foregt to add jQuery library in your header.php file as follow

jQuery library in header.php file

<script src=”http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.4.js”>< / script>
</pre>
<h2>Step7: Adding jQuery’s ajax function</h2>
<pre name=”code” class=”javascript”>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
$(“#submitbtn”).click(function() {

$(‘#result’).html(‘<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/images/loader.gif” class=”loader” />’).fadeIn();
var input_data = $(‘#wp_login_form’).serialize();
$.ajax({
type: “POST”,

data: input_data,
success: function(msg){
$(‘.loader’).remove();
$(‘
<div>’).html(msg).appendTo(‘div#result’).hide().fadeIn(‘slow’);
}
});
return false;

});
</script>

There is one Plugin onWordPress directory Plugin Commander, by using this Plugin you can manage all WordPress Multi Site Network Plugins at one place. Now compiling a list of WordPress Plugins to manage Multi Site Network.

If you are new to WordPress Multisite or have been using it for years,  these WordPress plugins are best for the latest version of WordPress 3.2. They help you to manage your sites on your network easily. You can tweak your CMS specially can maintain and manage its privacy.

Moderate New Blogs

If you are running MultiSite network and after registration new blogs  will wait for moderation. No registrations slip through without your approval. New blogs(aka sites) await a final click from a Super Admin to activate. Keep blog registration enabled and open, keep Super Admin email notices enabled.

Multisite Switcher

This plugin adds a simple dropdown menu in administration header that allows you (and every site users) to switch between administration of every site they are member of (and so work for super-admin, admin, contributors,…).

Proper Network Activation

Some plugins have an install procedure that is meant to be run only on activation. However, when you do a network activation, that install procedure is only run for the current site. So, you end up with plugins not working properly on all the other sites.

What this plugin does:

• when doing a network de/activation, it triggers the de/activation hook on all sites in the network
• when creating a new site, it triggers the activation hook for all active network plugins on that site

Download

Multisite User Management

Running a WordPress network? You no longer need to manually add new users to each of your sites.

With this plugin, users are assigned a default role for each of your sites. You determine the default role for each site under the Multisite User Management section of the Network Admin | Settings page.

1. Blog visible to any logged in community member – “Network Users Only”.
2. Blog visible only to registered users of blog – “Blog Members Only”.
3. Blog visible only to administrators – “Admins Only”.

Mulitsite SuperAdmin can set an override on blog privacy at “Network Privacy Selector” on SuperAdmin-Options page

Multisite SuperAdmin can set privacy options at SuperAdmin-Sites-Edit under “Misc Site Options” as well.

Download

Exclude Plugins

This plugin will allow you to selectively show or hide certain plugins from the normal WordPress user in Multisite, as opposed to showing or hiding all plugins at once.

7. Simple BuddyPress Guide

BuddyPress plugins:

There are nine plugins in the base BuddyPress suite. Each one can be used to add a social feature to your Social Networking site. By default, all BuddyPress components are enabled. You can selectively disable any of the components by using the BuddyPress Component Setup page.

Extended Profiles:

This allows you to create extra profile fields, which can be filled in by the members.

Private Messaging:

This allows members to contact each other directly. There are private messaging plugins for WordPress and also for BuddyPress. Rather than confusing your users with multiple places to send/receive PMs, I recommend testing each plugin and using the one that you feel best suits your site.

Friends:

This allows members to maintain friend lists, as they would on sites such as Facebook or MySpace.

Groups:

This allows members to create groups where they can post images, links, and blog posts. For example, Wicca practitioners could create a group to share spells, and Slayers from Los Angeles could have a group where they would share tips and news.

The Wire:

This plugin works like walls on other social networking sites. You can add a wire to a page or component, and users will be able to post messages to that page.

Activity Streams:

This plugin tracks member activity across the site. A member’s activity stream will show new posts they have made, changes to their profile, and changes to their friends list. Members will also be able to keep up to date with their friends’ activities via their stream.

Blog Tracking:

This feature aggregates all of the blogs, blog posts, and comments created by a specific member, making it easier for people to keep up with the blogging activities of their friends.

Forums:

This component allows groups to create and manage their own forums, using the existing bbPress plugin.

Status Updates

Allow users to post status updates.
