ModeratorIn the Simple Membership plugin, the login form/page is intentionally kept simple so it can adapt to any WordPress theme. That means customization is usually done using pages, shortcodes, CSS, or small code tweaks, rather than a built-in “template editor”.
Let me walk you through the main ways you can customize the login page:
✅ 1. Create Your Own Custom Login Page (Recommended)
The plugin doesn’t force you to use a fixed login page—you can create your own.
Steps:
Go to Pages → Add New
Create a page (e.g. “Member Login”)
Add this shortcode:
[swpm_login_form]
Publish the page
Use this page in your menu or redirect users to it👉 This gives you full control over:
Page layout (using your theme or page builder)
Adding text, images, branding, etc.
🎨 2. Customize the Design (CSS Styling)The plugin uses minimal styling and inherits your theme styles.
So if you want to change how the login form looks (colors, spacing, etc.), you can use CSS.
🔧 3. Customize Login Redirect Behavior
You can control where users go after login.
Go to:
WP Admin → WP Membership → Settings → General SettingsLook for:
“After Login Redirect URL”
👉 Example:
Redirect to dashboard page
Redirect to members-only contentApril 7, 2026 at 7:33 am #32014admin
KeymasterYou also have the option to override the default login template and create a fully customized version. Please note that this involves modifying PHP files, so it is considered an advanced option and may not be suitable for all users.
