Adding a registration form to Wordpress page

  • I'm trying to password protect some Wordpress pages without using a plugin. I wrote a few pages in PHP make a simple user login/registration form. Just to make sure it worked, I threw it up on the web http://mbh.fivepotato.com/test/index.php . It is made up of 6 files: index.php, login.php, registration.php, activate.php, member.php, and logout.php

    Now I want to incorporate that form into a page on my Wordpress site called "login". The member.php file is protected using the code:

    session_start();

    if($_SESSION['username'])

    echo \"Welcome, \".$_SESSION['username'].\"!<br><a href='logout.php'>Logout</a>\";

    else
    die(\"You must be logged in!\");


    I was hoping that I could use some conditional statements and the "session_start(); if($SESSION['username'])" hook to protect the pages I only want available to members who register through that form. Unfortunately I haven't had any success. Does anyone have suggestions for how I could go about this?
