I’m grateful that you’ve found a fix. Any timeline for when that new version might be out?
@care2michelle
Hopefully, at the end of next month, we will release the new version.
Thanks
oh, not until the end of January? Last week you indicated it would be a few days. I may have to find another solution. thank you.
@care2michelle, we are already working on it, and it’s under QA; we will release the updated version with fixes and new features asap.
Thanks
That’s great! I’m looking forward to it. Thank you.
Thought I’d check back with you and see if you have an updated timeframe on the new release. Our project has been delayed until Jan. 6th (at the earliest). We do have a temporary fix in place, but it requires usernames and passwords, and we’d rather just do password access. Thanks!
@care2michelle, you and test and use this Beta version and let me know if there are any issues.
Thanks
@care2michelle
You can add your own styling without using a plugin, using PHP and CSS. The plugin has it’s own hook for adding custom scripts to the head of the page:
password_protected_login_head
You can add the code to your child theme’s functions.php. For example, this will change the logo:
add_action("password_protected_login_head", "custom_login_css");
function custom_login_css() { ?>
<style>
body.login #login h1 a {
background-image: url('https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/logo.png');
width:100%;
background-size: contain;
}
</style>
<?php }
Adding the following hook as well will apply the CSS to the default WP login page as well:
add_action("login_head", "custom_login_css");
I installed the beta version, and it still doesn’t give me the menu option under appearance–> customize for Password Protected, only for Login Designer. So I still have no way to design the Password Protected login page apart from using code. It does add Password Protected to my main WordPress dashboard menu, but the options there do not allow for changing the appearance of the password protected login, other than the option to add text before and after the login. The styling options (logo, colors etc.) are not available in that menu, and Password Protected still doesn’t show up on the customization menu.
I’m going to try using CSS to style it, but I don’t normally code, so I’d really rather not do it that way. Not sure why I’m not having any success with the beta version.
@care2michelle Sorry
Use the below Beta versions and let me know, make sure you can create backup of your website or test it on your staging website first.
Login Designer
Password Protected
Thanks
I don’t have any trouble installing the beta version of Password Protected linked above. However, I cannot install the beta version of Login Designer linked above – see the video: https://www.loom.com/share/2e79776a7f9542789dad87c19297022e
Can you try re-sending the link and I’ll try again?
Thank you so much for working with me on this issue!
@care2michelle Sorry, you can download Login Designer from here.
Thank you! I am able to customize it now with both those beta versions installed. Is there any way to change the size and positioning of the logo? When I replace it, the logo is rather small. I’m sure I can use CSS to do that.
@care2michelle
Great, thanks for updating us.
At the moment size option is not available, and we will try to add this in the future.
We would appreciate a kind and honest review on our Password Protected and Login Designer profile
Thanks
