Thanks for the post. I was wondering how to change up the login page. Your website has been most helpful.

Tip for all!
Wordpress Codex deals with this issue with the basics.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/login_head
There’s the link for it, a safe way to start.

Challenge to all!

Make a custom login using wp-login.php code, add it directly to your site and then redirect them first to your home page. Then make custom wp-admin page.
Actually I have reveal that I’m working on a solution like this, everything else is working except the redirect.

Dan,

I didn’t. All I changed was the image behind the text.

David,

Did you change the style of the login text (“Username”, “Password”, “Register”, “Forget Password”)? I’m having the hardest time figuring out who is defining the styles for those.

No worries at all, Dave.

I’ve not tried it with WP 2.7.1, but if I was ever to do so for a client, I’d dabble again.

for client works we usually make the login pretty http://ultigifts.com/wp-login.php or this http://thousetagaytay.com/wp-login.php (v.2.3.1)

Wish there was a plugin for this. In WP 2.7.1 though you simply have to change the logo-login.gif.

Thanks for the post David.

Nice work, Adam.

With the continuous WordPress updates, I tend not to bother now, but it’d be a different story if I was creating something for a client.

wasn’t planning on changing the log-in page however after seeing this article it inspired me to change the one on the blog i run. I have had a good go at it and think that the result is really quite amazing it gives the log-in page a much better fitting with the rest inspiring blog :)

the log-in page is here if you’d like to see it: http://sallyandrew.findhornpress.com/wp-login.php

Good tip, thanks. I want to use it for a new site I am working on. Its gonna be a Wordpress Plugin that people need to sign up to use, and I have been working on implementing Wordpress’ own user-management as a way to control the members signing up.

This is gonna help me brand the login-page, giving it a better “feel.

Thanks again :)
