Code Snippet
The WordPress login page is fairly plane and has the WordPress logo. It can be customized to represent your company’s brand or the site itself.
PHP
Place the following code anywhere in your child theme’s functions.php document.
// customizing the login page
function my_login_logo() { ?>
<style type="text/css">
body.login {
background: #2c353d;
}
a {
color: #ffffff !important;
}
#login h1 a, .login h1 a {
background-image: url('/wp-content/uploads/logo-300x300.png');
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background-size: 200px 200px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
</style>
<?php }
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', 'my_login_logo' );Once in place the styles in line 4 through 17 can be changed to suit your needs. Notice that line 11 has a link to an image uploaded to the WordPress media section. Change this to your logo image or something else you want displayed just above the login form.
