What's going wrong
Site owners using WP Login Form report that when a visitor types a wrong username or password, they are sent to the standard WordPress login screen instead of staying on the custom login page with an error. Some also say that refreshing a custom login URL falls back to the default page. Owners who run member areas or client portals find the stock screen breaks their branding and flow, and they want failed attempts to loop back with a clear message. A fix that keeps every login attempt on the custom page would help any site that hides the default login address.
