if(isset($_REQUEST['signin'])){
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$creds = array();
$creds['user_login'] = $_POST['email'];
$creds['user_password'] = $_POST['password'];
$creds['remember'] = false;
$user = wp_signon( $creds, false );
//if ( is_wp_error($user) )

session_start(); //check for wp_session storage
$_SESSION["new_dashboard"] = '1'; //if you want to redirect user to a new page or set any conditions on login
if ($user->is_admin == '1') {
$dashboard = home_url()."/?page=old-dashboard";
} else {
$dashboard = home_url()."/?page=new-dashboard";
}
//set cookie for remember me //save user login details as cookie if remember me is set, so that if user logs out next time and comes to this log in page, username & password auto fills by checking
$user_login_details = $email.'_pass_'.$password;
if(!empty($_POST["remember"])) {
setcookie ("user_login_details",$user_login_details,time()+ (10 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60)); //set cookie time as per you need

if(isset($_COOKIE["user_login_details"])) {
setcookie ("user_login_details","");

wp_redirect($dashboard);

Example 2: wordpress login user programmatically
<?php
function auto_login( $user ) {

// log in automatically
if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
$user = get_userdatabylogin( $username );
$user_id = $user->ID;
wp_set_current_user( $user_id, $user_login );
wp_set_auth_cookie( $user_id );
do_action( 'wp_login', $user_login );
}
}
?>
Example 3: wordpress set two login pages
<?php
//if you want to show two (different) login pages for two (different) links,
//you can first of all think of two urls for two different login pages.
//here, i have two links => /login-old and /login-new for which i want different forms,
//now as any of these url hits the browser, i will check for url paramenter
$url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (strpos($url,'login-new') !== false) {
// echo 'to New Login page';
$cookie_name = "login_page";
$cookie_value = "new";
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, time() + (86400 * 30), "/"); //will not set immediately, but useful later for logout
header("Location: ".site_url('login')); //this will be your default login page url
exit;
} else if(strpos($url,'login-old') !== false) {
// echo 'to Old Login page';
$cookie_name = "login_page";
$cookie_value = "old";
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, time() + (86400 * 30), "/"); //will not set immediately, but useful later for logout
header("Location: ".site_url('login'));
exit;
}
//now that the cookie is set, i know which form to show to user,
//now, as the user gets redirected to default login page, go to it's template file
//and check for the default login form, where, check,
$login_page = '';
if (isset($_COOKIE['login_page'])) {
$login_page = $_COOKIE['login_page'];
}
if ($login_page == 'new') { ?>
<style>
#your new form styling here...
</style>
<?php } else if ($login_page == 'old'){ ?>
<style>
#your old form styling here...
</style>
<?php }
if ($login_page == 'new') { ?>
<form id="new_form" action="" method="post"> </form>
<?php } else if ($login_page == 'old'){ ?>
<form id="old_form" action="" method="post"> </form>
<?php }
//here, check the default login form action attr to put above in our custom forms
