The default WordPress login page works fine, but it doesn’t fully represent your brand. To create a more engaging experience, it’s important to showcase your brand and business on this page.
A custom login page design is especially impactful for membership sites or online stores, where users frequently interact with the login page.
At WPBeginner, we’ve implemented a custom login page for our free WordPress video training website. It helped us showcase our brand more prominently while improving the user experience.
In this guide, we will show you how to create a custom WordPress login page. We will explore multiple methods so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs.
Here is what you will learn from this guide:
- Why Create a Custom WordPress Login Page?
- WordPress Login Page Design Examples
- Creating a WordPress Login Page Using Theme My Login (Free)
- Creating a Custom WordPress Login Page Using WPForms
- Creating a Custom WordPress Login Page Using SeedProd (Recommended)

Why Create a Custom WordPress Login Page?
Your WordPress website comes with a powerful user management system. It allows users to create accounts in eCommerce stores, membership websites, and blogs.
By default, the login page shows the WordPress branding and logo. This is fine if you are the only person with admin access or have very few users.
However, if your website allows users to register and log in, then a custom login page offers a better user experience.
Some users may be suspicious if your WordPress login screen looks nothing like your website. They will likely feel more at home if you use your business logo and design.
Lastly, the default login screen contains nothing but the login form. By creating a custom login page, you can use the space to promote other pages or special offers.
That’s why we use a custom login page for all our websites where users need to interact with a login form.
For instance, here is the custom login page we use for the WPBeginner training videos website.
That being said, let’s look at some more examples of custom WordPress login page designs.
WordPress Login Page Design Examples
Website owners can customize the WordPress login page using different styles and techniques.
Some create a custom login page that uses their website’s theme and colors. Others modify the default login page by adding a custom background, colors, and logo.
Here are a few examples of what’s possible.
WPForms is the best WordPress contact form plugin on the market. Their plugin also includes an add-on to create beautiful WordPress login and registration forms, which we will show you later in this article.
Their custom login page uses a two-column layout. The left column contains the login form, and the right column is used to highlight promotions and other calls to action.
Their login page shown above lets their users know about new features. It uses custom branding, background illustration, and brand colors to create a unique login experience.
Jacquelynne Steeves is an arts and crafts website where the author publishes content about decorating homes, making quilts, patterns, embroidery, and more.
Their login page uses a custom background image that matches the theme of their website, and the login form is on the right.
The login page of this motion graphics design company has a colorful background that reflects its business.
It uses the same site header, footer, and navigation menus on the login screen. The login form itself is pretty simple, with a light background.
MITSloan Management Review uses a popup modal to display a login and registration form.
The advantage of a popup is that users can log in without leaving the page. It saves them from a new page load and offers a faster user experience.
Now, are you ready to learn how to create a custom login page in WordPress?
Creating a WordPress Login Page Using Theme My Login (Free)
Theme My Login is a free plugin that changes your login page to match your WordPress theme. It’s not very customizable, but it will replace the default WordPress-branded login page and make it look more professional.
The first thing you need to do is install and activate the Theme My Login plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Upon activation, Theme My Login automatically creates URLs for your custom login, logout, registration, forgot password, and reset password actions.
You can customize these WordPress login URLs by visiting the Theme My Login » General page. Scroll down to the ‘Slugs’ section to modify the URLs used by the plugin for login actions.
Theme My Login also allows you to use shortcodes to create custom login and registration pages. You can simply create a page for each action and then add the page slug here so that the plugin can find and redirect users properly.
Let’s start with the login page.
Head over to Page » Add New to create a new WordPress page. Next, you need to give your page a title and then enter the following shortcode [theme-my-login] to the page.
You can now publish your page and preview it to see your custom login page in action.
This is how it looks on our test WordPress website.
Repeat the process to create other pages by using the following shortcode:
[theme-my-login action="register"] For the registration form
[theme-my-login action="lostpassword"]For the lost password page
[theme-my-login action="resetpass"] For the reset password page
Creating a Custom WordPress Login Page Using WPForms
WPForms is the best WordPress form builder plugin on the market. It allows you to easily create custom login and registration forms for your website.
WPForms is a premium WordPress plugin, and you will need at least their pro plan to access the User Registration add-on. WPBeginner users can get a 50% discount by using our WPForms coupon code: SAVE50
The first thing you need to do is install and activate the WPForms plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Upon activation, you need to visit the WPForms » Settings page to enter your license key. You can find this information in your account on the WPForms website.
After entering the license key, you’ll be able to install add-ons.
Go ahead and visit the WPForms » Addons page and locate the User Registration Addon.
Next, click the ‘Install Addon’ button to download and activate the addon. You are now ready to create your custom login forms.
Head over to WPForms » Add New page. You’ll be asked to ‘Select a Template’ for your form. Search for the ‘User Login Form’ template and click the ‘Use Template’ button to continue.
WPForms will load the User Login Form with the required fields.
You can click on the fields to add your own description or text around them.
You can change other settings as well.
For example, the default button title is ‘Submit’. You can click the button and change the text to ‘Login’ instead.
You can also decide what happens once a user is successfully logged in.
You’ll need to head over to the Settings » Confirmation tab and select an action. You can redirect the user to any other URL, redirect them to the homepage, or simply show them a message that they are now logged in.
Once you are satisfied with the form settings, just click on the ‘Save’ button in the top right corner of the screen and close the form builder.
Adding Your Custom Login Form to a WordPress Page
WPForms makes it super easy to add your custom login form on any WordPress post or page.
Simply edit the page where you want to add the login form or create a new one. Then, on the page edit screen, add the WPForms block to your content area.
Next, select the login form you created earlier, and the WPForms block will automatically load it inside the content area.
You can now continue editing the login form page. Feel free to add more text or promotional blocks. Once you are finished, don’t forget to save and publish your changes.
You can now visit your website to see your login page in action.
Creating a Custom WordPress Login Page Using SeedProd (Recommended)
By default, your custom WordPress login form page will use your theme’s page template and styles. It will have your theme’s navigation menus, header, footer, and sidebar widgets.
If you want to take over the entire page completely and design something from scratch, then you can use a WordPress page builder plugin.
SeedProd is the best landing page builder for WordPress. It’s beginner-friendly and offers a drag-and-drop builder to help you create any type of landing page, including a login page, coming soon page, maintenance mode page, and more.
For this article, we will be using the SeedProd Pro version because it includes a login page template and advanced page blocks for customization.
There is also a free version of SeedProd, but it doesn’t include the option to create a login page for your WordPress website.
First, you’ll need to install the SeedProd plugin on your website. For more details, you can follow our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Once the plugin is active, you’ll be redirected to SeedProd in your WordPress admin area.
Here, you’ll need to enter your license key, which you can easily get from the SeedProd account. When you’ve entered the key, click the ‘Verify key’ button.
After that, you are ready to create your login page in SeedProd.
To start, head over to the SeedProd » Landing Pages and select the ‘Login Page’ option by clicking the ‘Set up a Login Page’ button.
On the next screen, you can select a template for your login page. You can also create a page from scratch using the Blank Template.
However, we suggest using a template as it’s easier and faster to customize the login page.
When you select a template, a popup window will appear to enter a Page Name for your login page. SeedProd will use the page name as the URL for your landing page.
Once you have entered these details, go ahead and click the ‘Save and Start Editing the Page’ button.
Now, you can edit your login page using SeedProd’s drag-and-drop builder in the Design tab. The builder lets you easily add any page block to the page by simply dragging it from the left menu and placing it anywhere on the page.
For example, you can add some text, a video, or a new button to your login page. There are more customization options in the Advanced Blocks section, where you can add a countdown timer, social sharing icons, and more.
SeedProd even lets you remove existing page blocks in the template. All you have to do is click the trash can icon to delete the page block.
Next, if you click on any section on the login page, you’ll see more options for customization.
For instance, you can change the text and color of the fields, choose a different font, edit the button’s color, and more.
When you are satisfied with the design of the login page, click on the ‘Connect’ tab at the top.
You can now connect different email marketing services such as Constant Contact, Drip, and more.
After that, you need to head over to the Page Settings tab. Under the General settings, SeedProd lets you edit the page title and change the page status from draft to publish.
You can also select the option to use a SeedProd Link and add your SeedProd affiliate link to make more money online.
If you want to optimize your login page for search engines, then go to the SEO settings. Here, you’ll find a button that will install the All In One SEO plugin.
All in One SEO for WordPress (AIOSEO) is the best WordPress SEO plugin that allows you to optimize your WordPress website for search engines and social media platforms.
You can learn the best way to use it in our guide on how to set up All In One SEO for WordPress correctly.
After that, you can also add different code snippets to your login page in the Scripts settings tab.
For instance, you may want to add Google Analytics code, Facebook pixel, or other tracking code here.
Now that you’ve changed the page settings, go ahead and click the ‘Save’ button at the top.
Next, you’ll have to make your login page active. To do that, you can exit the landing page builder and then go to SeedProd » Landing Pages.
Once there, you should click the switch to change the page status from ‘Inactive’ to ‘Active’.
You can now go to the URL of your login page and see it in action.
This is a screenshot of the login screen on our demo site.
Alternative: You can also use Thrive Architect to design an attractive login page. It’s another great drag-and-drop page builder plugin that we recommend for creating custom pages.
It includes over 300+ professionally designed templates that allow you to make a login page that could look like the one below.
If WordPress page builder plugins are not your thing, then you can use custom CSS to style the form and the login page itself.
Change the WordPress Login Logo and URL
You don’t always need to create a custom WordPress login page for your website. A lot of websites replace the WordPress logo and logo URL while still using the default login page.
If you want to replace the WordPress logo on the login screen with your own logo, then you can easily use a WordPress plugin or add custom code. We will show you both methods, and you can use one that best suits you.
Method 1: Changing WordPress Login Logo and URL Using a Plugin
The first thing you need to do is install and activate the Colorlib Login Customizer plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Upon activation, the plugin adds a new menu item to the WordPress theme customizer. Simply navigate to Appearance » Customize and click on the new ‘Colorlib Login Customizer’ item to launch the login customizer.
Note that this option is not available if you are using a block theme, so we recommend using the code method if that’s the case.
The login customizer will load your default WordPress login screen with customization options on the left and a live preview on the right.
To replace the WordPress logo with your own, click on the ‘Logo options’ tab on the right.
From here, you can hide the WordPress logo, upload your own custom logo, and change the logo URL and text.
You can also customize the size of the size and color of the text and the width and height of the custom logo.
The plugin also allows you to customize the default WordPress login page completely. You can add columns, background images, change the login form colors, and more.
Basically, you can create a custom WordPress login page without changing the default WordPress login URL.
Once you are finished, simply click on the ‘Publish’ button to save your changes. You can now visit the WordPress login page to see your custom login form in action.
Method 2: Changing WordPress Login Logo and URL With Code
This method allows you to manually replace the WordPress logo on the login screen with your own custom logo without the need for a plugin. It is also suitable for block themes.
First, you need to upload your custom logo to the media library. Simply go to Media » Add New page and upload your custom logo.
Once you have uploaded the image, click on the ‘Edit’ link next to it. This will open the edit media page, where you need to copy the file URL and paste it somewhere convenient, such as a blank text file on your computer.
Next, you need to add the following code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file or use the WPCode plugin to easily add custom code without breaking your site (recommended):
function wpb_login_logo() { ?>
<style type="text/css">
#login h1 a, .login h1 a {
background-image: url(http://path/to/your/custom-logo.png);
height:100px;
width:300px;
background-size: 300px 100px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
</style>
<?php }
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', 'wpb_login_logo' );
Don’t forget to replace the background-image URL on Line 4 with the file URL you copied earlier. You can also adjust other CSS properties to match your custom logo image.
You can now visit the WordPress login page to see your custom logo.
However, this code only replaces the WordPress logo. It does not change the logo link, which points to the WordPress.org website.
Let’s change this.
Simply add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file or WPCode. You can paste it right below the code you added earlier:
function wpb_login_logo_url() {
return home_url();
}
add_filter( 'login_headerurl', 'wpb_login_logo_url' );
function wpb_login_logo_url_title() {
return 'Your Site Name and Info';
}
add_filter( 'login_headertitle', 'wpb_login_logo_url_title' );
Don’t forget to replace ‘Your Site Name and Info’ with your site’s name. The custom logo on your login screen will now point to your site’s home page.
Disabling the WordPress Login Page Language Switcher
The release of WordPress 5.9 introduced a new dropdown login option that lets users select a new language when logging in to a website.
If there is more than one active language on the site, this option will appear.
This works well for multilingual websites and teams with different users who might want to access the WordPress dashboard in a different language.
But if you want to keep your login page simple and your users don’t need to switch languages frequently, removing the language switcher can help declutter it. You can do this using a plugin or code.
Method 1: Disabling the Language Switcher With a Plugin
All you need to do is install and activate the Disable Login Language Switcher plugin. Upon activation, the language switcher option will automatically be removed. There are no additional settings for you to configure.
Now, when you go to your login screen, you’ll see the standard login screen without the language switcher option.
Method 2: Disabling the Language Switcher With Code
Another way you can disable the language switcher is by adding code to WordPress.
Simply add the following code snippet to your functions.php file or in WPCode snippets. For details, see our tutorial on how to add custom code snippets in WordPress:
add_filter( 'login_display_language_dropdown', '__return_false' );
For more details, see our guide on how to disable the language switcher on the WordPress login screen.

I’m new to Wordpress and am trying to set up a small blog on my own.
I’m toying with the idea of having readers ‘sign or log in’ to be able to gain access to extra features.
From what I understand in this thread is how to create the log in form and apply it to your site, but how do you adjust the access to features or essentially what the are logging in for?

For what it sounds like you’re looking for, you may want to look into a membership plugin depending on the features you’re wanting them to have access to: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/5-best-wordpress-membership-plugins-compared/

Hi ,
Thanks for all your replies and videos. Great help! I have three questions, would highly appreciate, if you answer.
(i)I am also puzzled what could be the use of “login widget”, if it does not include an option for sign-up. So the users, who are not registered, will have to be directed to some other page.
(ii) How to integrate social login, with the “elementor login wigdget”?
(iii) Is there no way for creating ” registration form” using elementor.
Thanks

I’m blown away!
I’m not a “tech” guy, but I own 6 or 7 badly, barely managed websites. I have huge aspirations, but not the talent or team to go with it. I may take me until I’m 100, but eventually I’ll build out my vision. I working on it. Regardless, that’s not the point of this post. It’s just to describe me.
I’m looking for more automation, and specifically was looking for a way to create/buy/obtain a pop-up with social logins (FB & Google) to build my list, which, if you can recommend one, I’d be most appreciative.
I read one of your articles and as I was leaving, saw you Ultimate toolkit. In just briefly skimming through it, I found answers to several things I’ve wanted to know about and 2 or 3 questions I didn’t even know I had. I know a truly valuable lead magnet when I see one, and I just wanted to take a second to commend you on this one. FREE VALUE!
Thank you

Hello!
I’ve created a free resource library for my website and I want to collect emails in exchange for the password in order to grow my email list. I am having such a hard time finding a way to customize a password-entry page because I don’t want anyone to have their own account or anything, I just want them to enter a password that I’ve set so they can gain access to the library. I don’t like the WP password protection feature because I want to be able to collect emails on the same page that they enter the password on so it’s like “If you have the password, enter it here. If you don’t have the password, enter your email and I’ll send it to you.” Would I be able to do something like that here? Do you have any suggestions? I would so greatly appreciate it because I’ve been stuck on this issue for like 3 days now!
Thanks so much,
Sierra
WPBeginner Support
Hi Sierra,
If you are using WPForms, then you can redirect users to the download page. You can also send them an email notification with the download link or password. Another solution could be sending the link or the password in an auto reply using your email marketing software. This way you will also be able to verify their email address.
Hope this helps

I have been trying for god knows how many days and today several hours installing and uninstalling login/registration plugins. I have followed every lesson along the way and followed yours closely. But – another total failure. This did not work. It created all the pages but put the profile/registration form on all of them. I give up! How do all of these sites get logins? Because nothing what-so-ever works for me. I can write a book on all the plugins and programs that I have tried. I am not going to hire a web developer to put one in because this task should not be that hard. But I can tell you it must be .
I will just have to do without like a lot of things in wordpress that are just not accessable to all – just web developers. It is too bad that one cannot have a decent normal site like the web developers can. Doing without a lot of functions is getting to be a real problem with me and wordpress. When the forums do not help – and the plugins don’t work – I just just have to give up and do without.
kris
it is not hard nor did I use a plugin last time, it is on the menu page but I forgot how to do this, a guy wanted to charge me $80 to do this and I won’t pay either. it is easy I can’t remember how to do it, I have been looking for days.

I came across this plugin recently and LOVE IT!!!! I am trying to figure out how to verify a person is logged in prior to allowing them to write a post using Gravity Forms.
All forms work properly, I found generic code to redirect to wp-login.php but since I am using the plugin, I want it to redirect to the same as the theme my login screen does.
Here is sample code: (setup as page_loggedin.php)
<?php else:
wp_die('Sorry, you must first log in to view this page. You can register free here.');
endif; ?>
I don’t want hard coded site references, so any help with the PHP code will be appreciated! Preferred choice would be if user not logged in the redirect like the plugin does (but I can’t find how it does it yet)

Seems like the code you wanted to share is stripped out by Disqus. Please refer to Syntax Highlighting in Disqus.

I just got Theme My Login, version 6.3.9, and installed it into my wordpress theme (wp version 3.9). I activated the plugin but I see no Theme My Loging inside (under) the Setting what I do see is a TML following under Settings that does show the modules & general but no tabs. Help!

How do you remove the bullets for ‘lost password’ and ‘register’ if on the login page? And remove ‘lost password’ if on the register page?
I want to keep these options but remove the bullets.

Do i need to upgrade my wordpress to enterprise version in order to have the plugin feature for my website and install your custom login feautre?

If you can not see Plugins on your site that’t probably because you are using WordPress.com and not a self-hosted WordPress.org blog. See the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org

Can this log-in page be used to log into a specific page of a website? I don’t want people logging into the admin section, but when they click on the link for a particular page, I want people to be able to log in with a username and password for just the one page. They need to be able to set up an account and create their own password, thus the reason I can’t use the password-protected option offered per page by WordPress. All members’ usernames and passwords need to be unique.

Its very good plugin to login. But if we want to disable the header and footer using this plugin then how we can do this. If anyone knows this then please upload your answer and give me it on ly email id.

This plug-in is fine except if someone loses their password. I don’t know if it’s me, but the plug-in doesn’t seem to communicate with Wordpress very well. For instance, James loses his password to my site. He requests that a new password be sent to him. James receives an email saying that he lost his password, but he should go to *blank* website to reset it. Unfortunately, there’s nowhere for James to go to retrieve/reset his password. Now, I could be wrong about this, but so far, I’ve found no way around this problem

The plugin isn’t compatible with the latest version of wordpress
Editorial Staff
It is compatible. The only reason why the plugin author hasn’t updated the plugin’s readme file is because they haven’t come out with new features yet. It works just fine.
