Description

We added a new feature for Facebook and Google Log in – Check the documentation for more details

PSW Front-end Login & Registration plugin allows you to seamlessly create and manage login and registration forms on your website, directing users to specific pages for these actions. By redirecting from the standard wp-admin or wp-login.php URLs, you improve your site’s security by reducing exposure to common cyberattacks targeting these login points.

This plugin also includes options to disable the default login and set up email-based account validation. It’s perfect for site administrators who want a user-friendly and more secure way for users to log in and register.

Key Features:
* Supports multiple languages, including French and English (translation-ready with a .pot file).
* Fully responsive design that works on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices.
* Streamlined redirection process to improve user experience.
* Secure password recovery for registered users via token-based authentication.
* Option to disable the default login URL and replace it with a custom URL.
* Social login integration (Google and Facebook) for easier access.

Note: To enable the registration form, ensure that user registration is activated in your site settings. Go to Settings -> General, and check the option Membership – Anyone can register.

Additional Information

To translate the plugin, use the .pot file included in the plugin folder. Upload translations to the /languages/ directory, and WordPress will automatically load them based on the site’s language settings.

This plugin is amazing and easy to understand

I have been using it on most of my project, and it is easy to install and to customize. I will recommend using it if you want to disable the custom login to improve the security of your website.
