Hello,
I installed and configured membership plugin. How can I just put the login form on a page that I created? Is there a shortcode? I am using a membership theme called Optimize Press. I have created a members home page and basically I am trying to get users to log in either at the page I created and then be directed immediately to the membership home page that I created in the theme. Please assist. Also, how can I have users pay at paypal prior to registration? Thanks

Hi pageup and welcome to WPMU DEV!
Membership actually relies on WordPress for the login, which is great because you can use any of the existing methods to customize the login experience.
If you feel comfortable with a bit of coding, you could also use code like from the following article to include a login widget, like the above one, as a shortcode in a post or a page. http://digwp.com/2010/04/call-widget-with-shortcode/
Regarding payments, there's not a way to have members pay at PayPal before registration, the purchase would have to be made after the initial account creation.

Membership actually relies on WordPress for the login, which is great because you can use any of the existing methods to customize the login experience.
For example, you could use the Sidebar Login plugin to include the login in a sidebar on your site.

You could also try the Login with Ajax plugin.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/login-with-ajax/
And of course, you could always go with Theme My Login which brings the login to the front-end, using your theme's template files.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-my-login/
As for the redirection, the best way I imagine that could be done would be to use a login redirection plugin like our very own.

Hope that helps!
