Though they have beautified the login screen (blog-url\/wp-login.php) in WordPress 2, you can customize it further to express your creativity.<\/p>\n<p>I never really need to visit the login screen since I use a single user personal computer and click the &#8220;Remember me&#8221; box, such that I stay <strong>logged in forever<\/strong>. However, there are many people who need to login daily for security reasons on public computers (which is a good idea), and a custom login screen would be a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>I got this idea from Rishi Raj who is trying to give a professional touch to his blog by changing the images of the wp-login.php file. He advises to change the login-bkg-tile.gif and login-bkg-bottom.gif \/ login-bkg-bottom_new.gif images located in your blog&#8217;s \/wp-admin\/images folder. Replace with your custom images taking care of similar size and placement. Remember to keep a dark background or the white text will merge with a white background. Its a simple substitution of images which is safe also since you do not edit any php coding.<\/p>\n<p>Again its a quick job. But remember that when you upgrade wordpress, all these customizations have to be redone. Based on these 2 tips, you can develop your own ideas. I stress the importance of <strong>backing up the original copy <\/strong>of all these files before editing these php files, so you can always ftp the original file if something goes very wrong.<\/p>\n<p>If your wordpress install supports multiple users, edit the login screen and surprise other users! I am sure you will get a lot of buzz&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For WordPress bloggers, the wordpress login page is the most common page you visit everyday to login and edit your&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-2265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging","tag-wordpress"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2265\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
