  I’m tring to make a login form using wp_signon. It’s showing this message:

  ERROR: The password field is empty.

  I enter correct username and password. It’s in Firefox, not in Chrome, as I read that in Chrome it shows this message.
  What is this due to?

  My code is:

  <?php
  global $wpdb;
  $username=$_POST['username'];
  $password=$_POST['password'];
  $creds = array();
  $creds['user_login'] =$username ;
  $creds['user_pass'] = $password;
  $creds['remember'] = true;
  $user = wp_signon( $creds, false );
   if ( is_wp_error($user) )
   echo $user->get_error_message();
  else {
  wp_redirect('myurl here');
  }
  ?>
  <form action="" method="post"/>
      <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username"/>
      <input type="text" name="password" placeholder="Password"/><br>
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
  </form>

  The site you are having issues with is a WordPress.org self-hosted site. This forum is for WordPress.com hosted sites. The correct forum for WordPress.org self-hosted sites is http://wordpress.org/support. You will need to go there and create a separate account for the support forums there.
