Handy WP Plugin: Customize Your Wordpress Login Page
If haven’t had the chance to see it yet, BittBox just got a new (custom) login page. Thanks to the kind souls over at BinaryMoon, it’s now relatively easy to make a custom skin for your Wordpress login page that won’t get over written during an upgrade, because it comes in the form of a plugin! (BM Custom Login) If you have a Wordpress blog and want to give your users a better sense of visual connection between login and reading, this is a great way to make your site look a little more professional, and a step above the masses.
Not only does the BM Custom Login plugin give you the ability to customize the generic Wordpress login page, there are templates included in the download. A PSD for the main image, and a Fireworks PNG (vector) footer. I thought the instructions were a little confusing, but all I did was use the templates and saved my 2 images as “login-bkg-tile.jpg” and “login-bkg-bottom.gif”. Then I replaced those same two files in ~/wp-content/plugins/bm-custom-login/images, and it worked instantly. No need to mess with the Wordpress core files at all!
Some Other Examples:
There is even a Flickr Group for the Custom Login pages!, so if you end up customizing your login page, you can show everyone the new design.

First post
thanks for the link, good deal
Sweet post. I was just working on my wordpress actually. Trying to get it up and going. This will be a nice addition to it.
I am already using a custom plugin by James Kelly to do this, but instead of customizing the WP login box, the login is wrapped inside the header and footer. You can see an example of this on my site by clicking here. This keeps my theme intact and consistent with my other pages. :)
Excellent! I was going to start looking for something to do this… now I don’t need to!
Thanks!
Nice one BittBox! Going to try this out. More on the Wordpress stuff please!
Cheers!

I just don’t have much to say these days. I don’t care. My life’s been generally boring lately. I haven’t gotten anything done for a while, not that it matters.
I haven’t gotten much done lately. That’s how it is. I’ve pretty much been doing nothing to speak of, but so it goes. I haven’t been up to much recently, but oh well. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me.

there are no images like login-bkg-tile.jpg” and “login-bkg-bottom.gif in wp-admin/images!
PS. when I change the files in /wp-content/plugins/bm-custom-login/image the ”WP LOGO” is still there on top of a cutom login graphics!
