Login
A login form for site users, with remember me, lost password and register links.
On this page
The Login widget puts a WordPress login form on any page, so members, clients or customers can log in without seeing the standard WordPress login screen. It has Remember me, Forgot your password? and Create an account links, and it greets visitors who are already logged in.
Add a Login form
Open Insert in the left panel and find Login in the Forms group, or type "login" in the search box. Drag it onto the canvas, or click it to add it next to the selected element. See Add elements.
The form signs visitors in with their WordPress account. If the details are wrong, WordPress shows its own login screen with the error message.
Choose where visitors go
- After login, go to sends visitors to The same page, the Home page, the WordPress Dashboard or a Custom URL.
- For visitors who are already logged in, Show either a "Logged in as" message with log out link or Nothing. After log out, go to sets where the log out link leads.
You are logged in while you edit, so the canvas shows the form as logged-out visitors see it. Turn on Preview as logged in to check the "Logged in as" message instead.
Allow people to register
The Create an account link only appears when Anyone can register is turned on in Settings → General in WordPress. Urmi does not change that setting for you.

Tips
- Put the login form on a page of its own, such as "Client login", and link to it from your menu or footer.
- To keep the whole site private while you build it, use Maintenance & coming soon instead.
