    Hello DP users,

    I'm creating a website that is membership based. And I wanted to make the homepage www(.)mywebsite(.)com the login page.

    Can somebody tell me how to do it? I've tried dozens of ways, i've googled it, but nothing seems to work.

    Thank you!

    I would say the best bet would be to hire a freelancer from a site like Elance.com, Freelancer.com, odesk.com, and find someone with a good past rating. I bet you can get exactly what you need for around 15-20 bucks. Also, you will gain a valuable resource for any questions you may have in the future. Doing things yourself is always a great way to save money, but sometimes the stall in development ends up hurting you in the long run.

    Just integrate the login widget on your home page.

    If you are still looking another way of doing it is to use a plugin called Theme My Login. Lets you put the login widget where ever you want really and will make the login and other profile pages match your theme.

    It is here in the WordPress plugin repository.

    Your current theme should have even a front_page.php or home.php inside the root folder. You can modify one of the mentioned files, or you should do a custom template , assign it to a new page, and go set this from Settings->Reading -> A static page and select that page as homepage. Inside that template you can use as sarahk mentioned above, a WordPress predefined function to display a login form: wp_login_form() . This will be the safest way to create the wanted login form.
