Are you running a multi-author website and want to brand your WordPress login with your own logos? Or maybe you just want to change up your personal WordPress logo because you love customizing WordPress? If you haven’t looked, there are few custom logo page plugins available. But most of them are limited to what the design will look like and half the time, they still have that default look to them.
So if you really want a custom look for your login page, then you have to create your own custom logo page by digging into the WordPress code. To customize your login page, it isn’t all that hard, you just need to be able edit and create a couple pages of code. Even if you can’t code, you can still create your own custom login for your WordPress site. All you need is a guide that walks you through the steps to creating a killer login page.
How To Create Your Own Custom WordPress Login Page
Earlier today, I came across a guide that will walk you through the steps to create a killer login page. The guide is from Speckyboy Design Magazine, one of my favorite design magazines, and it breaks the steps down into a few easy steps.
Take a look at the guide and try it out. Let us know what you think and if you created your own custom login page.
We’re running a custom login page at our site (http://dashter.com/wp-login.php) using Austin Passy’s custom login plugin http://austinpassy.com/wordpress-plugins/custom-login/ Though hard coding it like the Speckyboy tutorial suggests might give us a little bit more control, it was just plain easier to run Frosty’s plugin than worry about theme files. It allowed us to completely change our theme without having to worry about the impact on the login page. The login page is definitely a valuable point of contact for customers and users and worth modifying just to retain the brand message.
Your login page looks really neat and cool. I’ve used Austin’s custom login plugin for one of my clients and it really works well.
Thanks for the comment, Dave. Have a great time.
Dave,
Your login screen looks good. I have seen the plugin you mentioned and its a good one. I prefer to limit the amount of plugins I have and will choose to code over using a plugin.
However, If I have a client or I am working on a project and its a better choice to use a plugin, I will use the plugin for the job.
That guide became very useful to me. It really helped me out!
That’s great to hear, Tristan. Thanks for stopping by.
That’s great Tristan, I am glad it worked for you. Once you are done with yours, share your results with us,
