I created a custom lightbox login for members, and I used the login() code from [https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/wix-users/login](https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/wix-users/login) . However, when I click the submit button, instead of the login function checking against my profile database for email and password, it creates a new profile.

I want the code to check against my profile database → logs in users → redirect to another page if successful. Help! And thank you!

import wixUsers from ‘wix-users’ ;  
import wixLocation from ‘wix-location’ ;  
import wixWindow from ‘wix-window’ ;

export function loginButton\_onclick(event) {

let email = $w( “#email” ).value;  
let password = $w( “#password” ).value;

wixUsers.login(email, password)  
.then( () =\> {  
console.log( “User is logged in” );  
wixWindow.lightbox.close();  
wixLocation.to( ‘/member’ );  
} )  
. catch ( (err) =\> {  
console.log(err);  
} );  
}

You have incorrectly connected the Login button to a dataset (and a Submit action), while also connecting the Login button to a loginButton\_onclick() event handler.

You should also check the dataset to see if it is set to the correct item.
