?>Is it possible to construct a form in WordPress without using a plugin?
You must embed the code into your WordPress site functions.php to create a contact form without using a plug-in. This entails copying and pasting an auto-generated string of code into the text editor for your WordPress web page.
How can I change the URL of my WordPress login page without using plugins?
The wp-login.php file contains all of the code that creates the login page and manages the login procedure by default. In our new file, we may reuse the code from wp-login.php.
What is the URL for logging into WordPress?
To access the WordPress login page, add /login/, /admin/, or /wp-login.php to the end of your site’s URL.
