    Hello, to change the default login page, use this code inside your functions.php in your child theme’s folder:

    

    add_action('init' , 'geodir_redirect_to_default_login') ;
function geodir_redirect_to_default_login()
{
if(isset( $_REQUEST['geodir_signup']))
{
  wp_redirect(home_url().'/login/');
  exit();
}
}
    

    have a look at the row 
    

    wp_redirect(home_url().'/login/');
    

    and change /login/ to whatever is the login page you want to use

    1- I might have been misunderstood your question, are you seeing the WP login page somewhere? The only place I noticed the WP login page is when clicking on the activation link, after someone register to the website.
    

    2- There is no widget area for the login page however you can add this function (in functions.php inside your child theme folder)
    

    

    add_action('geodir_sidebar_signup_top','signuptext',10);
		 
		
		function signuptext() {
		
		

		echo "text here";	
			}
    

    where it says 
    

    echo "text here";
    

    you can replace with your own text or eventually output a widget/shortcode
    

    reference for how to add a  shortcode here https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode
    
or a widget here

    thanks for the reply.
    
1) when users click login they are directed to wp-login.php. However I want them to be directed to geodirectory login page. Nonetheless, hope this will not stop the admin from login in to wp dashboard.
    
2) regarding the sidebar, i want to place a sidebar in the geodirectoty login page.

    1- this is happening because of your theme. Your theme has the login page set to the wordpress login page. I think you can edit it somewhere in the theme settings, or in Appareances/menu. You can edit and link it to /?geodir_signup=true
    

    2- this will require some custom modifications
