Wordpress custom login errors based on whether or not an advanced custom field is set true for that user
I have kind of a unique issue. I have migrated a website and rebuilt it on wordpress. Some of the users that were migrated over the passwords were not migrated with them. So for all the old users I added an advanced custom field named "password_reset" and set it to true for all the older users.
What I am trying to do is show a custom message for these users that says something like "we have updated our website please rest your password with a link to reset".
I have added the below code to a function in the functions.php file
//if migrated user needs to reset password
$username = $_POST['username'];
if (username_exists( $username ) && get_field( 'password_reset', 'user_'.$uid ) ) {
$error= 'Please reset your password. To reset your password <a href=" '. wp_lostpassword_url( home_url() ) . ' ">click here</a>.';
}
return $error;
since the user isn't logged in quite yet when they are to recieve this error, I am trying to use the username_exists(username). Basically I need to identify is the user name exists already and if that username has the acf field "password_reset" checked. So far I have had no luck, any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE: here is my lates version: the messages for invalid username and incorrect password are working, Just can't get it to work with the usernames that hold the acf value
function my_custom_error_messages() {
global $errors;
$err_codes = $errors->get_error_codes();
// Invalid username.
if ( in_array( 'invalid_username', $err_codes ) ) {
$error = '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Invalid username.';
}
// Incorrect password.
if ( in_array( 'incorrect_password', $err_codes ) ) {
$error = '<strong>ERROR</strong>: The password you entered is incorrect.';
if (username_exists( $username ) && get_field( 'password_reset', 'user_'.$uid ) ) {
$error= 'Please reset your password. To reset your password <a href=" '. wp_lostpassword_url( home_url() ) . ' ">click here</a>.';
}
}
return $error;
}
add_filter( 'login_errors', 'my_custom_error_messages');

I believe the issue is that the username is not passed to the login_errors filter. The only data available within that filter is the error message that is passed (no definitive data about user accounts at all).
I have found a different reference that may shed some light on a way to provide a customized error message without using that filter. Try using the wp_authenticate_user filter, instead:
WordPress codex reference
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/wp_authenticate_user
