Customizing Login Form

When you use the merge tag %%LOGIN_FORM%% in a WordPress page, the tag is replaced by a login form that your member can use to log in to your membership site.

If you wish to customize the look & feel or text of the form, then rename the file…

wp-content/plugins/DAP-WP-LiveLinks/DAP-WP-LoginForm.html

To…

wp-content/plugins/DAP-WP-LiveLinks/customDAP-WP-LoginForm.html

Basically you are adding the text “custom” to the beginning of the file name, that’s it.

And this new file will also reside in the same directory.

Once you have this new file in the directory, DAP will ignore the old, default file, and will only use your new custom version.

Do we then edit the customDAP-WP-LoginForm.html and the %%LOGIN_FORM%% command will go to the custom file?

Or do we create a whole new form with the original DAP-WP-LoginForm.html name?

How is this file affected by DAP upgrades?

I edited and named my file as “customDAP-WP-LoginForm.html” but the site doesn’t use it. I also tried editing the original file but the site doesn’t use that one either.

Are you sure you have a file called customDAP-WP-LoginForm.html in /wp-content/plugins/DAP-WP-LiveLinks folder? If yes, then dap will pick it up.

If you are sure it exists but your changes are not picked up, pls open a support ticket and we will take a look.
