Hey guys,

I have a premium theme currently installed on my site and I would like to add a bbpress forum to it.

I would like to however make it so no one ever needs to see the wp-login.php.

How do I do it so whenever someone clicks on login or register, they see a custom page with the relevant fields?

I want to do something similar to http://www.swnk.org/forums/

They have it integrated beautifully, EXCEPT when you click on login and it redirects you to wp-login.php which I don’t want. I want an error to pop up immediately (maybe with ajax/javascript?) so users are never ever sent to wp-login.php.

Is this possible? Thanks guys.

Anything is possible.

You’ll want to research WordPress login plugins, if you want more control over the login page than what bbPress provides. You can use the login form shortcode, but that won’t prevent people from navigating to wp-login.php directly.
