Create a branded WordPress login page
LoginPress Pro is a premium extension for the LoginPress WordPress login customizer. It is designed for site owners who want the login screen to feel like part of the wider website rather than a standard WordPress form.
The plugin uses the WordPress Customizer API, allowing changes to be previewed while you work. Its controls are intended for users who want to customize the login page without writing code.
Design controls for the login screen
LoginPress provides settings for the main visual elements of the login page. You can change the logo image, its width, height, bottom padding, hover title, and hover link. Background settings support an image or color, along with position, size, and repeat behavior.
The login form can be customized with an image or color, width, height, padding, and border. Input fields include controls for width, margin, text color, label color, and background color. Button color can also be adjusted through a WYSIWYG control.
The forgotten-password form has its own background or color settings. This makes it possible to give the main login form and password recovery form a more consistent visual treatment.
Messages, footer, and responsive presentation
LoginPress supports customized messages for login errors, forgotten-password errors, registration errors, and reset-password errors. You can also adjust the forgotten-password hint message and create customized welcome messages.
The form footer can include customized text, display settings, text decoration, text color, hover color, and text size. Page footer text can also be customized. These settings help you present instructions, branding, or other information below the form.
The customized login page is responsive, so the configured layout is intended to display well on mobile devices as well as larger screens.
Pro options and related extensions
LoginPress Pro adds premium functionality including Google Fonts, Google reCAPTCHA, and the ability to choose themes. LoginPress also lists extensions for capabilities such as social login, login widgets, login redirects, limiting login attempts, hiding the login, and automatic login. The source describes Login Logout Menu as a free addon, while other listed addons include free and Pro options.
LoginPress supports translation and localization through its text domain and is WPML compatible.
Installation and setup
Install the free LoginPress plugin first, then upload the LoginPress Pro package. The Pro functionality is enabled after the Pro package is installed, and the existing free-version options do not need to be configured again. After installation, open the LoginPress settings and use the Customizer to preview and adjust the login page. Configure Pro options such as Google Fonts, Google reCAPTCHA, and selectable themes as needed.
