Ensuring Compatibility: LoginPress and EDD

LoginPress is one of the best WordPress login page customizer plugins, letting you customize the default WordPress login page.

It focuses on rebranding your login page in just a few clicks, without touching a single line of code.

We're pleased to announce that LoginPress and EDD are fully compatible. We recommend using LoginPress with EDD. 

In this knowledge base article, we'll show you how to redirect users to your custom WordPress Login Page instead of the default EDD login page.

Let’s get started!

How to Make LoginPress and EDD Compatible 

Let me describe a scenario here: a customer visits the My Account page.

When the user tries to Log In, instead of landing on the default EDD Login Page, they will be redirected to your custom Login Page.

After logging in, that user will be redirected to their My Account page and see their information as usual. Pretty simple, right?

Here are the steps you need to follow:

Step 1: Add the Snippet in the Theme’s functions.php File.

All you need to do is add the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file.

This code ensures that if the user is not logged in, they are redirected directly to your custom login page.

Note: It’s recommended to use a child theme to edit the functions.php file instead of the parent theme. There is a risk of losing the modified code when you update your theme. It might cause some adverse effects on your website.

function loginpress_edd_login() {
 if ( ! is_user_logged_in() && is_page('my-account') ) {
   wp_redirect( wp_login_url() );
   exit;
 }
}
add_action( 'wp', 'loginpress_edd_login' );

Step 2: Use LoginPress Login Redirects Add-On

Now you need to set up redirects for customers or any other role you want to redirect to my-account after login, so they can be redirected to their own my-account page.

This is where the LoginPress Login Redirects Add-on comes into play. 

Note: You can find our detailed guide to the Login Redirect Add-on here.

Once you’ve installed and activated the Login Redirects Add-on, navigate to the Login Redirects settings page to set up the redirection based on role/s.

Choose the Specific Roles tab. Search your customer’s role, i.e., “Customer.” Now add your “My Accounts” page URL in the Login URL field, e.g., www.mysite.com/my-account.

This is where the user with the customer role is redirected after logging in.

Then enter the desired customer logout URL in the Logout URL field.

This can be your site's default landing page, e.g., www.mysite.com. This is where the user will be redirected when logged out.

Now, when the user tries to log in, he will be on the following page:

The Login Redirect Add-on redirects users with a customer role to their my-account page upon successful login.

That’s it! All done. Easy right? Now you can display an excellent login page to your EDD customers.
