How do I customize the logo on the WordPress login screen?

You can customize the logo on the WordPress login screen by dropping the logo file into your WordPress content directory, named login-logo.png.

What should be the configuration for the logo image?

The logo image should have a transparent background, be tightly cropped (no padding pixels), and have a width of exactly 312 pixels for best results. Wider images will be downscaled in modern browsers, but it isn't recommended to rely on that.

Does this plugin work in the mu-plugins directory?

Yes, this plugin works in the mu-plugins directory as well.

Muchas gracias por el trabajo realizado.

Works flawlessly on WP v4.x

By ellencarnahan (emcarnahan756) on November 14, 2017

Until WP drastically revamps their login structure, I predict this plugin will work seamlessly for many many versions yet to come. Since I found this plugin via Password Protected, it seems only fair to give that one a shout out as well. They work perfectly in sync together. Site access and dashboard login pages both look nice and neat, just the way I like it :) Thank you!

Nice Job

Great for changing the logo

By mikeverk on September 27, 2016

I've been using the plugin for some time and it works like you would expect it to do!

Thank you

It is working. Thank you for your effort :)

Pure and simple

Works great. I like the fact that there is no uploader or any setting in the admin. Plugin consists of a single file - login-logo.php, and is a no-brainer to customize it, add some style to change the login screen bg or links color.

Simple, good
