FAQ
-
Where can I configure the plugin?
-
You can find the settings page under
Settings>Custom Login Pagein your WordPress admin dashboard. -
How do I select an image for the logo or background?
-
The plugin uses the native WordPress Media Uploader. In the settings page, click the “Select image” button next to the respective field. You can then choose an existing image from your Media Library or upload a new one.
-
What happens if I don’t set a body background image?
-
If no body background image is selected, the “Body Background Color (Fallback)” will be used. If that is also not set, it will default to the standard WordPress login page background color.
-
Can I reset the settings to default?
-
Yes, on the plugin’s settings page, there is a “Reset All Options to Default” button. Be careful, as this action is irreversible.
-
Is the plugin translation ready?
-
Yes, the plugin is translation ready. The text domain is
err-custom-login-page. A Vietnamese translation is already included. You can create your own translations using tools like Poedit. -
My logo looks stretched or too small. How can I fix this?
-
Try adjusting the “Logo Height (px)” setting. If you leave it blank, the plugin will try to size it automatically based on the image dimensions, but for best results, provide a logo that is appropriately sized for a login page and then fine-tune with the height setting if needed. Using a PNG with a transparent background is recommended for logos.
