External Services

This plugin optionally connects to Google reCAPTCHA to protect the WordPress login form against bots and automated attacks.

Google reCAPTCHA

When reCAPTCHA is enabled in the plugin settings and a user submits the login form, the plugin sends the following data to Google’s reCAPTCHA verification API (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify):

The reCAPTCHA response token generated in the user’s browser.
The user’s IP address.
The plugin’s secret key (never exposed to the frontend).

This data is only sent server-side when a login is attempted and reCAPTCHA is enabled with valid site key and secret key configured. No data is sent if reCAPTCHA is not enabled.

Setup guide

After activation, follow these steps to configure the plugin:

Open settings – Navigate to Login Designer in the WordPress admin menu.
Choose your layout – Select between a single-column or two-column layout. For two-column layouts, you can adjust column sizes and order.
Set a theme – Choose between a dark or light color scheme.
Upload a background image – Click the image picker to upload or select an image from your media library.
Add your branding – Optionally upload a custom logo for the login page.
Configure redirects – Go to the Redirects submenu to set post-login redirect URLs for each user role, and optionally set a logout redirect URL.
Enable reCAPTCHA (optional) – Go to the Integrations submenu, choose reCAPTCHA v2 or v3, and enter your site key and secret key from Google reCAPTCHA.

FAQ

Where do I find the plugin settings?: After activating the plugin, you will find a Login Designer menu item in the WordPress admin sidebar. The settings are divided into three pages: Layout, Redirects, and Integrations.
How do I get reCAPTCHA keys?: Visit Google reCAPTCHA Admin and register your site. Choose either reCAPTCHA v2 or v3 depending on your preference, and copy the site key and secret key into the Integrations settings page.
What is the difference between reCAPTCHA v2 and v3?: reCAPTCHA v2 requires users to interact with a checkbox or complete a challenge. reCAPTCHA v3 works invisibly in the background and scores each login attempt without user interaction.
Can I set different redirect URLs for different user roles?: Yes. Go to the Redirects settings page and enter a custom URL for each user role. If no custom URL is set, the plugin uses sensible defaults (e.g., /wp-admin for administrators, /my-account for customers).
Does the plugin work with two-factor authentication (2FA)?: Yes. The plugin is designed to work alongside 2FA plugins such as Wordfence, Two-Factor and 2FA. reCAPTCHA verification is automatically skipped during the 2FA step.
Is the plugin compatible with WooCommerce?: Yes. The plugin includes built-in support for WooCommerce roles such as shop_manager and customer with appropriate default redirects.
