When a WordPress site’s theme was showing a default login form to users trying to access restricted content, the client wanted to replace it with a branded login experience.
I reviewed the theme’s codebase and determined the best approach was to develop a small, standalone plugin to override the output without modifying the theme files directly. The plugin hooked into the appropriate action/filter to ensure the shortcode-based form was shown instead.
A small job, but one that reflects how I work — no quick hacks or sloppy edits, just a clean, maintainable fix that respects the rest of the site’s structure.
Even small changes deserve to be done properly.
