Description

WP Custom Login lets you fully customize the WordPress login page to match your brand identity.

Whether you run a single site or a multisite network, this plugin gives you control over every visual element of the login screen — from the logo and background to form fields, buttons, links, and more.

Key benefits:

  • Adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and layout of every login page element without writing CSS.
  • Add your logo, social media links, and custom footer to create a branded login experience.
  • Support for multilingual sites with per-language text customization for labels, buttons, and notices.
  • Works with WordPress multisite networks for consistent branding across all sites.

WP Custom Login is a good fit for freelancers, agencies, and organizations that want a professional, branded login page. It includes a live preview in the admin settings, so you can see your changes before they go live.

FAQ

How do I access the settings?

After activation, go to “Settings” > “WP Custom Login” in the WordPress admin. The settings page provides visual controls for every element of the login page, along with a live preview.

Does this plugin work with WordPress multisite?

Yes. WP Custom Login supports WordPress multisite networks and can be activated network-wide. Each site in the network can have its own login page customization.

Can I customize login page text for multiple languages?

Yes. Labels, placeholders, button text, and custom notices all support per-language configuration. This is useful if your site serves visitors in more than one language.

Will my customizations be lost if I update the plugin?

No. All your settings are stored in the WordPress database and are not affected by plugin updates.

What is the difference between the free and PRO versions?

The free version gives you full control over colors, fonts, layout, logo, social icons, and form styling. The PRO version adds pre-designed templates, advanced background options (animated gradients, slideshows, split-screen), post-login redirects by user role, and premium support. See the pricing page for details.

Can I add custom CSS to the login page?

Yes. The settings page includes a custom CSS field where you can add any additional styles that go beyond what the visual controls offer.

Not too much, not to little, just right. Allows for custom logo, font and button, and a little extra CSS if needed. Based on the size of your logo you will need to adjust the background position and/or margins of the #login but with a few tweaks it looks great.

Really like this plugin

October 9, 2016
The best and most effective plugins are those who are simple, easy to use and do what they promise. This is one of them. I have used it for years in every site I’ve done. Others that I’ve tried add too many options that are not needed and thus become complicated. Today’s version has it all and it couldn’t be easier to create a nice, customized login screen. You can go crazy with your own CSS, but you don’t have to. Besides a nice login screen you can add a line that shows at the bottom of the dashboard with your support contact information, so that users have it in front of them when they need it. A very nice touch! Thanks.

Simply Cool
