Taking out Register and Forgot Password options on Sign in form

[travis.wood]

Good Morning,

I have decided I am going to create users on the back-end as contributors for HivePress. I will be generating a random password for each user and emailing it to them. However, when they go to my site using HivePress, I want the Sign In option there for them to enter in their user name and password I created on WordPress Backend, but I do not want them to see the “Don’t have an account yet? Register.” Or the “Forgot Password?” Options. I cannot turn off user registration in HivePress Settings as this disables them from signing in.

How can I make those two options disappear so they can only see sign in options with the username and password fields and sign in button, and then they can enter the user name and password I created in my WordPress Dashboard Contributor users.

Thanks

Travis

Hello,

This is how far I have gotten.

1. I hid the HivePress login/register button by using a php snippet, by this CSS.

.hp-menu__item.hp-menu__item–user-login.hp-link {display: none;}

I put the above snippet in the Customizing ListingHive Theme “Additional CSS” section as described in this community forum.

Disable or replace the default login form

Hi! The user login, and register modal is generated by a shortcode (user_register_modal, user_login_modal) so if you want to customize by a css snippet, add this css from the front-end editor, into the “Additional CSS” field. This first is the register modal, you can change the modal background color, and the text color. #user_register_modal.hp-modal.fancybox-content {background-color: yellowgreen; color: blue;} This second is, for the login modal. #user_login_modal.hp-modal.fancybox-content…

2. I then proceeded to take off “Allow User Registration” under HivePress Settings>Users>Registration.

3. I then created a new page called Sign In, and added the HivePress “User Login Form”

4. I then proceeded to Customize Menu for ListHive Theme. I went to Menus>Header, clicked on Add Items and added the Sign in page.

5. Now if I go to my website, I see the sign in page I created, I click on that and it now just has a section for user name and password and a Forgot Password link.

This is getting closer to what I want except there are a couple more things if you can help.

6. How do I get it to where after they sign in, this new Sign In page I created doesn’t still show up after they have logged in. I want it to disappear after they have logged in but it stays on the page.

7. Anyway to get rid of the “Forgot Password” link? I will manually reset user’s passwords on WordPress backend if they ever need help with passwords.

I’m trying to prevent a couple of things in this situation.

1. I don’t want users registering multiple accounts and only to use the account I created for them (i.e. hence why I wanted to get rid of user registration all together).
2. I still want them to sign in to an account (i.e. hence why I’m creating a sign in page)
3. I want to be able to make it after they sign in the Sign In page I created disappears somehow.
4. How to get rid of Forgot password ? link.

Below is a screenshot of what it looks like when a user clicks on my new Sign In page to sign in. Notice they are logged in, but it still shows Sign In Page.

Hope this is clear.

Hi,

The easiest option is to use a CSS snippet to hide these details:

.hp-form--user-login .hp-form__actions {display:none!important}

Another option is to overwrite the Reset Password page with an empty template in HivePress > Templates, but we still recommend using the first option as we don’t see any other workarounds if users lose their password.

​I hope this is helpful to you.

My IT Manager and I are going to reset user passwords from the WordPress Dashboard if they ever forgot them.

Again, I want the employees who will be using this Internal Only Classified site to have a “Sign In” Button. So, when they click the Sign In button, they will only be presented with a username and password.

They would use the username and password I created in WordPress Dashboard>Users section when I created them as Contributors.

I would initially email each individual person their own username and password I created for them.

Hope this makes sense. I have not tried your suggestion, but I hope it doesn’t HIDE the user from being able to sign in. I just want the “Register for an account” and “Forgot Password” Option to be gone or hidden.

I’ll try your suggestion.

Thanks

Travis
