FAQ

Why create this plugin?

I created this plugin to allow for custom login of any WordPress login screen. See working example at: WordCamp.LA.

Where can I upload and share my cool login screen?

I don’t like the default login

Well you should check the first box Use your own CSS and customize your login screen!

I think i want to uninstall but…

Be sure to click the uninstall script that you manually add a value to define( 'UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN', '' ) on line 29. That means 1 or like this: define( 'UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN', '1' ). After that run the script and all options should be uninstalled.

    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!

    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.

  5. E.L

    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.

  6. nrg

    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

    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

    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 :(

    Trying to remove your plugin but getting this error… UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN must be set to a non-blank value in uninstall.php on line 29 .

    Any advice?

    Thanks.

    …Had a problem uninstalling, just doesn’t work.
    I had to change the ‘ ‘ , (on line 29 of the uninstall.php) to ‘ TRUE ‘.

    Hi, thanks for your plugin, it’s quite similar of what i was looking for. There are some known bug or major problems with IE7? i’m developing a site and when i test on IE7, it just crashes.

    Thanks for your work.

  14. Rodrigo

    Register Page. I don’t have problems with Login Page, but when the Register’s Page it’s open with IE7, the browser goes down. Mmm, maybe an incompatibility with ‘Register Plus’ ?

    WPMU 2.9.2, BP 1.2.4.1, Custom Login 0.7.2

    Just upgrade to last Custom Login version, we are using custom css and we dont get how to manage margins of our own image. We need to modify the upper margin and how to reduce the bix and place the image outside of the box.

    Regards,

    Dear frosty:

    Could you be more specific with the instrucion.

    Thank you for Custom Login Plug-in for WordPress :) Could you please tell me if there’s a way to customize the “Log in” button color and the color of the “Lost your password” link? Thank you!

    I really like your plugin. EXCELLENT work. The customization I’ve done for my website login page looks great so far but can you briefly explain to me how to put my own logo in the same place where the old WordPress logo was? It would save me having to figure it out myself. I’m not an expert in CSS yet. ~ Thanks !

  21. Tony

    Okay, stupid question here… I don’t see where to specify my header logo.

    I’ve searched the custom_login.php file, the wp-login.php file and other places where i think it should be defined, but can’t find it.

  22. G-STAR01

    Im trying to uninstall.

    Have a look at line 29
    http://pastebin.com/VEDRAPQG

    What should i do?

    Line 29 =
    wp_die( ‘UNINSTALL_CUSTOMLOGIN set somewhere else! It must only be set in uninstall.php’ );
