Hi there,
I am having problems figuring out how to use the login button feature on the forum, when I have purposely modified the login for security reasons from http://www.mysite.com/wp-login to http://www.mysite.com/enter using WP better security htaccess rules. The rules mean if I try to use wp-login, it will say not found, and that is what happens in this case when I press login in simplepress.
How could I make the simplepress login interact correctly with wordpress using the customised login?
Note, that I am also using a secret key, so when i type http://www.mysite.com/enter, the url resolves as http://www.mysite.com/wp-login?123456788 (a key stored in my ht access) in case this may effect things too.
Many Thanks!

Might you just be looking for the forum admin > components > Login and Registration options where you can specify the URLs?

Hi there, it doesn't seem to work still as you can specify the login url to be on the email you recieve, via the components page but this has not effect on the URL that you are sent to once you click login (after typing in credentials) on the forum itself.
The normal behaviour in any case, would be to just press log in after entering credentials, skipping the login 'page' altogether - but assuming this relies on something hard coded in simple press? e.g. http://www.mysite.com/wp-login ?

Sorry - I think I was thinking of an earlier SP incarnation.
The bottom line is that login/logout etc., are the preserve of WordPress not SP. We provide an inline login form within the forum simply as an easy to use alternative to the standard WordPress login page - which a lot of users really do not like very much. But it IS standard in that it just calls the WP back-end to perform the required login.
If you are modifying that and going down a non-standard route then your best bet is to hide the SP login button and form and use the controls you have already put in place within your site.
