Question

I have created a wordpress template and added a login form to in via code:

<form action="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_login), 1) ?>" size="20" /><br />
    <input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="20" /><br />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" class="button" />
    <p>
        <label for="rememberme">
        <input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="forever" /> Remember me
    </label>
        <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" />
    </p>
</form>

It works fine but when anyone insert the wrong password it goes the wp-login.php page. I would like to change that and point it to go to my template url instead.

The question is…where do I change this?

It is best to add a filter to login_redirect in your functions file
