That's it. You're done.

And so are passwords on your WP site.

The next time you log in to your WordPress site, the default WP username/password will be replaced with the 'Swoop In with Email' icon.

Swoop Shortcodes

Swoop offers a few short codes to help you build out your membership site.

To display the Swoop Login Button anywhere inside of a post or page simply use the [swoop_login] code. Here is an example of using the shortcode with the different configurations available. 

[swoop_login]
[swoop_login title="xxxxx xxxxx xx"]
[swoop_login target="https://yoururl.com/account"]
[swoop_login title="Sign in with email" target="https://mydomain.com/account"]

Swoop also provides a simple short code to require login before a page can be accessed. Use the [swoop_requires_login] code anywhere in the post or page and the page will automatically redirect the user to the Wordpress login page if they are not already logged in. Upon successful login, Wordpress will redirect them back to the page or post they were trying to access.

[swoop_requires_login]

Button Formatting

The Swoop login shortcode outputs an A link that will be defined by the implementing sites theme and associated CSS class.

Adding A Custom Login Button

If you want to add a login button to your site's theme, you will follow the same process outlined in Connect Swoop To Your Own Button. Simply, hook any button with the swoop.in javascript SDK call and it will invoke the login. 

<button onclick="swoop.in();">Login With Email</button>
