Have you ever wanted to create a straightforward Gravity Forms user login page without the need for additional add-ons? This tutorial will guide you through the process of establishing a robust front-end login procedure.
Part 1 – Creating a Simple Login Page
First, let’s set up a basic form with two fields:
- Username: Please assign the “username” class to this field.
- Password: Please assign the “password” class to this field and ensure that the password checkbox is checked.
Once you’ve configured these two fields, you can embed the form anywhere on your page using the following shortcode:
Next, we’ll set up two hooks that will facilitate user login:
- One runs once the form is submitted.
- The other runs during form validation.
1. Gform After Submission Hook
This hook fires after the form is submitted and all data has been validated. We’ll bind it to the form we just created. Add the following code snippet to your functions.php
file:
2. Gform field validation hook

This hook fires during the form submission process and iterates over every field. Add the following code snippet to your functions.php
file:
Once these two were set up (placed anywhere in the functions.php file) we can go ahead and test the form embeded to a page. Let’s do some testing:
With these hooks in place, you’re ready to test the form embedded on a page. Let’s conduct some testing:
- Try logging in with an incorrect password and observe the failed attempt. This indicates that the validation is working correctly.
- Now, log in with the correct credentials, and you should successfully access the system.
