    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!

      On your server go to folder wp-includes then pluggable.php file

      around line 374 you’ll see this code:
      if ( !isset( $from_name ) )
      $from_name = ‘WordPress’;

      change ‘WordPress’ to whatever you want to display as the sender.

    Hello, frosty!!
    Great work dude!, i adore your plugin, very full and useful!! :)

    I’ve found some minor typos in file ‘custom-plugin.php’ at lines(63,72,128,137) you wrote “defualt” instead of “default”.

    Otherwise, i do have a question/suggestion. Still in the file ‘custom-plugin.php’ you use the hook “plugins_loaded” to setup your plugin. I wonder if you shouldn’t use the hook “login_head” instead, as that’s when your plugin really enters in action to customize the login page.

    I’m proposing that because when using others plugins that rely on the login page (like ‘Maintenance Mode’ by Michael Wöhrer for eg.), your custom login is never loaded to replace the WP’s default login page.

    What do you think?

    Thanks!

    We’ve costumized the login screen for our blog network, and we’re so proud that we don’t want the unprivileged users can change it for their weblogs in our network.

    Could we do something on the source code to make the “Custom Login” link disappear from Options for non Superadmins??

    Good work, just one suggestion. Move the custom css to be included last in the generated css file. This means the user can overwrite any of the customizations as required. Also you might want to see if entries are empty and remove them from the css generated. I used the plugin just to push my custom css.

    Thanks for the plugin. It’s a lifesaver. I have two questions:

    1. My custom html, for some reason, has stopped showing up after the latest WordPress update (3.1). The text was rendering fine before. Any thoughts?

    2. In your documentation you mention that you can “… check the first box ‘Use your own CSS’ and customize **your** login screen!”. I’m not seeing this checkbox anywhere. Am I missing something? And, if you’ve gotten rid of this option in the plugin’s admin screen, do you have a function handy that we can throw into our functions.php file that will deregister the css?

    Thanks!

    Kia Ora,

    I’d love to have the answer to Corey’s second question if possible:
    “• And I want to ditch the shadow around the box all together (I tried entering ’0′ values)
    any help with this would be fantastic”

    And I’d also love the answer to Ace’s question:
    “If you don’t mind – how do I reach the #login ID, in which of the files is it located?”

    Thank You

    Tried this plugin on 3.2.2. Plugin installs fine, but when I click the Settings button, I get a screen that says I don’t have enough permissions.

    FYI, I’m logged in as the Admin.

    Please advise.

    Getting an error when trying to activate the plugin:

    “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare custom_login_url() (previously declared in C:\wamp\www\buddypress\wp-content\plugins\bm-custom-login\bm-custom-login.php:107) in C:\wamp\www\buddypress\wp-content\plugins\custom-login\custom-login.php on line 73″

    I had installed it a couple of days ago and then uninstalled for a compatibility test/issue with another plugin, and now I am unable to make it work again. I would like to use your plugin because it allowed me to style the background of the wp-login page.

    Any ideas?

    what is the css selector for the logo? I simply need to move the logo up so it’s not partially covered by the login form. adding top margin to #login form does move the logo up but the logo still cuts off at the same point.

      The answer to the logo being partially covered up problem is to force a height on the h1 and h1 a for the #login. Possibly a ghetto fix, but it works.

      #login h1 {height:130px!important;width:300px!important;}
      #login h1 a {height:130px!important;width:300px!important;}

    Really liked the features of your Custom Login plugin! Got it working in less than 2 minutes! However, I’m building a membership site that uses a separate Registration Page with Captcha – is there a way to redirect the Register link on your plugin to the membership registration url?
    Thanks!

    Hi! I love the plugin and also your photo is great!

    My issue is: I downloaded my logo, but when I comes to log-in page, it first shows the wordpress logo. After 1-2 seconds later I can see my current logo. How can I fix this issue?

    I’ve installed your plugin as I don’t seem to be able to customise login.css with WordPress 3.3. The plug in is working, but I can’t get my image to display. I’ve checked it’s on the site (http://www.selfmanagedlearning.org/minilogo.gif) and entered the url into the setup (it’s a simple gif – 90 x 90), but it refuses to show up. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Nice plugin, compliments, all is almost runing well, but I have a little problem, when aplying this custom CSS:

    #nav a {
    	color: #333333 important;
            text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #bbb;
    	text-decoration: none;
    	-moz-text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #1F4606;
    	-webkit-text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #1F4606;
    	-khtml-text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #1F4606;
    	}
    
    #nav a:hover {
    	color: #ff0000 !important;
    	}
    #backtoblog a { 
            color:#333333 important;
    	text-decoration: none;
            text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #bbb;
    	-moz-text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #1F4606;
    	-webkit-text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #1F4606;
    	-khtml-text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #1F4606;
            }
    #backtoblog a:hover {
    	color: #ff0000 !important;
    	}
    

    These links (back to blog, and resend password) are BLUE and not #3333333 as specified on the custom CSS

    Any clue?

    Have a nice time

    Is there a way of displaying the register box in a different position to the login box or even better show it on a new page? I have a lot of fields and it would look better if it didn’t scroll down the page when “register” is clicked

    Thanks for this great plugin. I always just used it with a white background, but not used a black background. The “back to blog” and “lost password” links have this blue and white shadow, which looks strange. How could I change that in the custom CSS to just a white color without any shadow? Thanks for any suggestions.

    I am using this plugin, and have created a logout button for my site. The button works and does log me out and returns me to the custom login screen. The problem that I am having, is that if I then try to login again, instead of taking me to my website like it does the first time, it takes me to the wordpress dashboard. Is there any way to fix this?

    Let me know,

    First, nice piece of code.

    I was looking for a two part solution.

    1, get rid of the default login screen… This does that nicely.
    No for part 2.

    I am creating a photo album of sorts for the parents and classmates of my daughter. We take lots of pictures of our kids and share them.

    But, the main concern is one of access. Our kids ages range from 1 – 6 yrs old. So, we want everyone to login to access.

    The question is this, is there a way to have this login screen come up as the landing page and then, once the visitor has authenticated, they are given the normal home page.

    something lie this:
    1) http://www.site.com
    2) user logs in
    3) once user logs in OK, they are given http://www.site.com
    4) the user views the galleries.

    So, until they login successfully, they can see anything, not even a menu. Just the login form.

    Anyone know how to do this? I’ve tried looking at a number of places but have not had much luck.

    thanks,
    Jerry

    Hi, The plugin works great, but the main concern for me is to how to set the background image size which in my case is like 2200×1500 px and the proble is it is only showing top left not the full image. Tell me where and what to over-write in the css field so that I can achieve this.

    I just installed your plug in on my site but I can’t seem to get the Logo to replace the Word Press logo.

    I am using the correct image size and it should work because I was able to load the same image on a different website and it worked. Not sure why it will not work on my real site?

    Any suggestions.

    Hi,

    Nice Plugin !!
    But the only issue I faced was when I use the login form on different resolution screen (Like for e.g. : Wide Screen & and a normal screen), The Background image which I’ve setup is moving as per the screen size whereas the login window is floating to the center irrespective of the screen size. can anyone help me in how to make the background image floating or align with the login form ?

    Thanks !!

    Thanks so much for the plug-in! It’s saved me a great deal of time and aggravation.

    I have one problem now though, I just applied the recent update Version 1.1.0 and now my background image disappeared. I verified it is set in the settings panel, I tried adding custom CSS, but it still gives priority to the CSS setting the background to none.

    Is there something I’m missing? It was working up until the update a few minutes ago.

    Thanks for any suggestions you can offer…the site is supposed to go live in a few short hours and I have no background image. Yikes!

    Love this plugin. When I set this plugin up, I loved how the default style worked. The hover over was pretty neat. I’ve created a custom login page already, and I guess I just have a few questions:

    1) how do I make the login box have transparency
    2) how to I add the hover effect for the login box (much like the default style)
    3) Is there a way to add a header and footer the the page? I want to add a solid blue stripe to the top and bottom of the page, with an image in the middle

    Hello!

    Using your great plugin for my site and had a question:

    I need users to access my site from a third party website and have the UN and Password passed from that site to my WP site – thereby requiring no login at my WP site.

    Is it as easy as simply sending a string along with the URL? If so, how should the string be written?

    Or is it more complex and something I don’t (yet) understand?

    Thanks for reading a for any help you can provide. :)
