How to create a login form

We need to open a New Blank Form first.

Generally in a login form, user name, email, and password fields are used. We’ve used only email and password fields here. Save the form and copy the form ID (shortcode).

Click on ‘Add New Page’ and paste your form’s shortcode there.

After saving your login page, you need to edit functions.php on your site. To do that, you need to click here and you’ll see some coding. Copy all of it, but remember you need to put your form ID here.

Now go to the Theme File Editor from the Appearance section.

You’ll see Theme Functions on the right side. Click on it, and go to the end of the editor. Put some spaces and paste the code you copied before.

Finally click on Update File and your login form is good to go.
