Customizing the WP Login Screen
I’ve fought this battle a couple of times in the past and decided it wasn’t worth the effort… But if we’re gonna have to look at the WordPress login screen multiple times every day, it might as well look decent, right?
And, it’s another touchpoint for your customers to see your brand, and that can’t hurt.
Here’s what the default looks like:
And here’s what it looks like with the tweaks I made:
It’s a subtle difference, but in my opinion, a massive improvement.
Rather than uploading yet another plugin to handle this, I decided to just make a nice little PHP snippet that would take care of everything.
You can either drop this into your child theme’s functions.php file, or create a code snippet with the code below.
I’ve made comments throughout the code so you know what each selector is and pointed out things you can change to match your brand.
function wpb_login_logo() { ?>
<style type="text/css">
/* CHANGE THESE COLORS TO MATCH YOUR BRAND */
:root {
--brand-color: #000e26;
--brand-color-hover: #ec4911;
--background-color: #f8fafc;
}
/* Body */
body.login{
background: var(--background-color);
display: flex;
}
/* Logo */
#login h1 a, .login h1 a {
background-image: url(https://ogalweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/OGAL-HERO-LOGO.svg); /* Replace with your logo URL */

width: 100%;
max-width:263px; /* Adjust height if needed */
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
/* Login wrapper */
body.login div#login {
padding: clamp(2rem, 0.714rem + 1.429vw, 3rem);

<?php }
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', 'wpb_login_logo' );
function wpb_login_logo_url() {

}
add_filter( 'login_headerurl', 'wpb_login_logo_url' );
Thank for the code, but it have a default WordPress language switcher also there so the login window is not centered on the page.
