Hi!
I migrated from OceanWp to Kadence after trying Astra, Framework, and Hello, and haven’t looked back, but I’ve run into one issue I could use some help with.

I use the Discourse forum platform for my community, and my WordPress install is an SSO client of the forum so that all accounts stay synced between the forum and my site/shop.

I always add a shortcode link to the primary Login page to “Connect your Forum Account,” which syncs everything up on the backend, but I haven’t found a way to neatly do that with Kadence’s default pre-My Account login page. Is there something I’m missing, or do I need to create a standalone custom Login page with Elementor?

If that’s the route, do I have the Login link in the header link to the new Login page and then redirect to the Account dashboard? I love the clean look of the default and how logging out of your account takes you back to the default Login page, so I hope there’s a solution I just missed (I tried hooks, but there’s no way to add to the existing Login that I found.)

Thanks so much for any guidance/help you can offer!
