I still don’t think I’m explaining this correctly.
There’s two ways to prompt a login screen on wordpress. One, you click on a login link or go to /wp-login. I can indeed modify that to whatever I like using a plugin or whatever.
Two, I try to go /wp-admin, but wait, my login has expired so I need to login again, wordpress then redirects me to the wp-login page or even loads the login as in interstitial, where I login and am then returned to the original /wp-admin page that I was trying to get to or the interstitial is dismissed and I’m at the page I intended to be on.
That’s what I mean by the word redirect in my previous post.
Now I have two questions.
-
If I create a custom login, will wordpress redirect me to that from some other page I need to be logged in for or will it fail because I’ve removed /wp-login?
-
Why doesn’t the ‘login with discourse’ option not know that I was trying to get to the /wp-admin page and instead redirects me to homepage or some other preselected page instead of taking me back to the /wp-admin page that I was already on as the login dialogue came up.
That make sense?
