add_filter( 'login_message', function ( $message ) use ( $wpide_register_intro ) {
$action = isset( $_REQUEST['action'] ) ? sanitize_key( $_REQUEST['action'] ) : '';
return 'register' === $action ? '<p class="message register">' . esc_html( $wpide_register_intro ) . '</p>' : $message;
} );
add_filter( 'wp_login_errors', function ( $errors ) use ( $wpide_register_done ) {
