From your WordPress dashboard<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  1. Go to Plugins > Add New<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  2. Search for LoginDash<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  3. Click Install Now<\/code>, then Activate<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  4. Open LoginDash \u2192 Customizer<\/code> from the admin menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Manual upload<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    1. Upload the logindash<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
    2. Activate LoginDash<\/strong> through the Plugins<\/code> screen.<\/li>\n
    3. Open LoginDash \u2192 Customizer<\/code> from the admin menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      After activation<\/h4>\n\n
        \n
      1. Pick a starter theme on the Themes<\/strong> tab (optional).<\/li>\n
      2. Upload your logo, then set your background, form and button colours.<\/li>\n
      3. Optionally enable reCAPTCHA and paste in your Google keys.<\/li>\n
      4. Click Save Changes<\/strong> and open your login page in a private window to see it live.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        Do I need to know CSS or code?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. Every setting has a visual control and the preview updates as you edit. The Custom CSS \/ JS panel is there only for edge cases the controls don't cover.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Will visitors see my changes while I'm still editing?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. The preview shows your unsaved edits, but nothing changes on the live login page until you click Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does applying a theme erase my customizations?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. A theme overwrites only the settings it defines and keeps your other customizations. Every value stays editable after you apply it.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Will LoginDash slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. LoginDash's styles, scripts and Google Fonts load only on the login page, never on your front end or in the admin. Generated CSS is cached and rebuilt only when settings change.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does LoginDash change how WordPress logs users in?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. It changes how the login page looks and what it says. Authentication is still handled entirely by WordPress core.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Which reCAPTCHA version should I use?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Use v2 if you want a visible \"I'm not a robot\" checkbox, or v3 for an invisible check with no extra click. Register your site in the Google reCAPTCHA admin console with the same version you select in LoginDash, otherwise the keys won't work.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What happens if Google reCAPTCHA is unreachable?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        LoginDash lets the request through rather than blocking every sign-in, so a Google outage can never lock you out of your own site.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I use a video as the login background?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Use an MP4 from your Media Library (with optional start and end times) or a YouTube video. Videos are always muted so browsers allow autoplay, and an overlay tint keeps the form readable.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I upload SVG logos?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. LoginDash sanitizes SVGs on upload, stripping <script><\/code>, event handlers and javascript:<\/code> URIs.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Will my changes survive a plugin or theme update?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Settings live in a single dedicated option (sdld_settings<\/code>) and are never touched by updates.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does it work on multisite?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Settings are per-site. For network-wide branding, activate the plugin on each subsite and configure it there.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Why doesn't a specific error message change?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        WordPress sometimes returns a single combined error string. LoginDash matches the most common cases. If a message you care about isn't replaced, please open a support request with the exact wording.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Where are the Customizer controls?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        In the dashboard sidebar under LoginDash \u2192 Customizer<\/strong>, or via the Customize<\/strong> link on the plugin's row in the Plugins screen.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Is there a Pro version?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. LoginDash Pro is an optional add-on that adds nine designed templates, Limit Login Attempts with IP whitelist \/ blacklist, XML-RPC protection and CAPTCHA escalation, Hide Login, Auto Login links, user- and role-based Login Redirects, Social Login (Google, Facebook, X, GitHub) and Import \/ Export. The free plugin works fully without it. Details: https:\/\/apps.spinxdigital.com<\/a><\/p><\/dd>\n

        How do I get support?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Please open a thread in the plugin's support forum and include:<\/p>\n\n
