/wp-admin login customization (5 posts)

    I have customized the wp-admin login area to reflect the companies colors and logos.

    Where I changed the WP logo to the companies logo, I have also changed the link from wordpress.org, and the alt text ("Powered By WordPress") to the companies link, and the alt text reflects going back to the site now.

    Is this a licensing or copyright issue? I have changed the act wp-login.php file and noted the change in my code. However I'm concerned, as when I have gone to other sites that have customized the wp-admin login area, they have kept the link for wordpress.org the same, but changed the logo.

    I want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong by doing so.

    Thanks,

    Danny

    you can edit whatever you like

    its nice to leave a WP link somewhere, since its WP only form of advertising really, but not required

    Just remember, if you edit core files rather than using plugins or theme hooks, you will lose all your edits on every upgrade

    I'm working on adding the WP logo to my site, and login as we speak.

    Thanks for quickly answering my question!

    // THIS ADDS CUSTOM LOGO TO LOGIN PAGE
    function my_custom_login_logo() {
        echo '<style type="text/css">
            h1 a { background-image:url('.get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/images/logo.png) !important; height:145px !important; }
        </style>';
    }
    add_action('login_head', 'my_custom_login_logo');

    in your theme functions.php will replace logo with your own, as an option
