I have a login box now in the header of all pages on my site but if the form isn’t filled out and you click submit it doesn’t display an error message, instead it takes you to the wp-login page. How do I avoid that? Is there something I can add to the shortcode that will require information in the form?

In your functions.php file add this code

add_action('login_redirect', 'redirect_login', 10, 3);
function redirect_login($redirect_to, $url, $user) {
if($user->errors['empty_password']){
wp_redirect(get_bloginfo('url').'/log-in-error/');
}
else if($user->errors['empty_username']){
wp_redirect(get_bloginfo('url').'/log-in-error/');
}
else if($user->errors['invalid_username']){
wp_redirect(get_bloginfo('url').'/log-in-error/');
}
else if($user->errors['incorrect_password']){
wp_redirect(get_bloginfo('url').'/log-in-error/');
}
else{
wp_redirect(get_bloginfo('url').'/forums/');
}
exit;
}
I created a page in wordpress called “log in error”, and chose that as the page to be redirected to if you do an incorrect login. In that page I wrote “Your username or password was incorrect. Please try again.” And then I chose bbPress – User Log In as the Template.

Sorry, the code didn’t come up quite properly. Use this instead:
