FAQ
-
Does this plugin replace wp-login.php?
-
No. It only restyles the existing WordPress login page and adds optional security features (captcha, attempts limiter). The standard WordPress login flow is preserved.
-
Will it work with my theme and other plugins?
-
Yes. The customizer only affects the
wp-login.phppage output, so your active theme is not modified and there is no conflict with front-end styles. -
Are the image and video backgrounds loaded from a remote server?
-
No. All preset assets (logos and backgrounds) are bundled locally with the plugin. No remote requests are made for the plugin to work.
-
How does the math captcha work?
-
A short math question (e.g.
3 + 4 = ?) is added to the login form. The answer is validated server-side together with a signed token. You can choose Simple, Medium or Hard difficulty. -
How can I reset the plugin to its default settings?
-
Open the AMSites Login admin page and use the Reset button, or simply pick one of the built-in templates and save it again.

Changelog
1.9.6
- Fixed: inlined
sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( ... ) )for$_POST['amslc_captcha']to satisfy WordPress.Security.ValidatedSanitizedInput.InputNotSanitized. - Updated: readme “Tested up to” bumped to WordPress 7.0 and full WordPress.org readme compliance (Installation, FAQ, Screenshots, Upgrade Notice).
1.9.0
- Hardened: every echoed variable is now escaped at output (esc_attr/esc_html/esc_url/wp_kses_post) as required by WordPress.org.
- Hardened: all $_POST / $_SERVER reads are unslashed and sanitized; AJAX payloads are nonce-verified via guard() and JSON values are walked through map_deep + per-field sanitizers in AMSLC_Settings::update().
- Replaced the direct
require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-login.php'include in the custom-slug handler with a safewp_safe_redirect( wp_login_url() ); the wp-login.php “hide” branch now only runs for anonymous GET requests. - Replaced direct
<script>echoes inrc_site_inline()withwp_register_script()+wp_add_inline_script()on properly enqueued handles (both front-end and admin). parse_url()replaced withwp_parse_url().- Added
/* translators: */comment to the “Blocked: try again in %d minute(s)” string. - Prefixed the remaining loop variables in admin/view.php (
$amslc_sans,$amslc_serif,$amslc_disp,$amslc_rows,$amslc_r,$amslc_f). - Updated Author URI to the public WordPress.org author profile and rewrote the readme short description to fit the 150-character limit.
