Custom Template Override

Create a directory structure in your theme to mirror the plugin’s template location: your-theme/attributes/front/forms/login-form.php

Copy the original template from the plugin (templates/front/forms/login-form.php) to your theme’s directory as a starting point. Customize the template as needed.

The plugin uses a well-structured template with hooks that you can leverage:

attrua_login_form_fields – Add custom fields to the form
attrua_after_login_form – Add content after the form
