I use [bbp-login] in my sidebar but when you type in your password or username wrong it redirects you to /wp-admin

How could I keep that from happing or redirect them to a different page?

This works

// hook failed login
add_action('wp_login_failed', 'my_front_end_login_fail'); 
 
function my_front_end_login_fail($username){
    // Get the reffering page, where did the post submission come from?
    $referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
 
    // if there's a valid referrer, and it's not the default log-in screen
    if(!empty($referrer) && !strstr($referrer,'wp-login') && !strstr($referrer,'wp-admin')){
        // let's append some information (login=failed) to the URL for the theme to use
        wp_redirect($referrer . '?login=failed'); 
    exit;
    }
}

Have even more code to also redirect them to a page if a users fills in nothing

add_action( 'wp_authenticate', '_catch_empty_user', 1, 2 );

function _catch_empty_user( $username, $pwd ) {
  if ( empty( $username ) && empty( $pwd )) {
    wp_redirect($referrer . 'http://yourdomain.nl/aanmelden'); 
    exit();
  }
}
add_action('wp_login_failed', 'my_front_end_login_fail'); 
 
function my_front_end_login_fail($username){
    // Get the reffering page, where did the post submission come from?
    $referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
 	
    // if there's a valid referrer, and it's not the default log-in screen
    if(!empty($referrer) && !strstr($referrer,'wp-login') && !strstr($referrer,'wp-admin')){
        // let's append some information (login=failed) to the URL for the theme to use
        wp_redirect($referrer . 'http://yourdomain.nl/aanmelden'); 
    exit;
    }
}

Not my code this is all scattered from around the web
