I created this plugin, and finally decided to release it to the public! Are you tired of a bland login (wp.login.php) page? Well I was. So I created a simple plugin so any user can install and customize there login/registration page. The plugin has a great settings page to easily modify all colors and styles. Plus there is even an advanced section for hardcore enthusiasts!
Check it out and download it through the WordPress repository.
For a live preview, visit my login page.

Great plugin!
I have everything looking quite nice with this. I have a question, does anyone know how to change the background color for the top color bar? It’s the area that spans across the very top of the page where the backtoblog link is placed on the login screen, and I just can’t seem to find what rule is defining that bg color to override it in the custom style area of this plugin. I’ve tried using firebug to determine what that color bar might be and I’m at a loss. Thanks!
This is a simple one, but fly’s past a lot of people
. It’s actually a body border..
So apply this css styling:
Of coarse changing the current color to something else, say red (
#ff0000).Hey BPM
I’ve added this feature into the most recent version!
Looking good, changing the login box images was easy but doing the whole page is handy.
For some reason I am unable to login to the WP admin after installing 0.4.8. It happens once I logout and try to login again.
I’m using WP 2.9.1
I’m unable to replicate your issue. Did you enter any settings?
Hmm. I will take a look. Is this a new install of the plugin?
[...] I just uploaded version 0.5 of my Custom Login plugin. [...]
I downloaded the plugin, but it is not what I look for. Because of the Dontate $1 in the login site.
But the delete script doesn’t works.
error:
UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN must be set to a non-blank value in uninstall.php on line 29
using WordPress 2.9.2.
First off, sorry.
Second, the donate button is only loaded on the default login screen [?]. If you use your own
CSScode that doesn’t show. I don’t see why you wouldn’t use your own style any way. Isn’t that the point of this plugin?Thirdly, if you read the uninstall script, it says you have to add a value to
UNINSTALL_CUSTOM_LOGIN. So you manually have to add any value. Otherwise anyone could access that script and uninstall your plugin, that wouldn’t be cool…ok, do I feel really stupid right now….
I didn’t had a lot of time at the moment to check it out and I was hurrying I guess… Well since the donate button goes away while I use my own css I will definitely use this plugin..
And about the uninstall, yes that makes sense….. Now I read it I wonder what I was doing when I was trying the plugin!
Thanks for the plugin!
i cant uninstall the script ;-/
after i edit the script, to value x:
define( ‘UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN’, ‘x’ );
i get this message during the uninstall:
Please comment out the UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN define() on line 29 in this file!
what do u mean with “comment out”
btw i’m uninstalling cause the plugin didn’t work for me,
it installs, it loads and activate, i can acces the editting console, but whatever i edit and save, no changes appear on the loginscreen.
just the default change as comes with script (your edit).
the script does acknowledge the ‘Save’
WP 2.9.2
You’ve got to add a value like “
1”Did you check the first box at the top that says:
Because if that box is not checked, no changes will appear.
hi, ok thanks i see now the changes ,
after having checked the css checkbox.
but still then i will need to resolve the uninstall issue.
i editted the code like this:
define( ‘UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN’, ‘1′ );
if ( !defined( ‘UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN’ ) || constant( ‘UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN’ ) == ‘1′ );
but still i get this message:
Please comment out the UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN define() on line 29 in this file!
Hi,
great work, I use it on my site and think it looks great. One question though, at the very top of the screen is a dark bar with a link to the website. Since my whole page is for registered users only I would like to remove this bar but am unable to find the right bit of code. Could someone point me in the right direction.
Cheers,
Arnold
You should add this custom CSS:
#backtoblog { display: none !important; }I was all excited about this plugin, but it seems as though it doesn’t work well with WPMU. When I activate the plugin site wide, it doesn’t allow me to control the look site wide
I haven’t tested it for site wide control. You may have to use for each. But if I can get a MU install to play with I will try and get it working..
