Super Custom Login Plugin

This plugin offers customization options for the WordPress login screen, including the ability to replace the default WordPress logo with a custom logo that links to the user’s homepage. There are custom color settings for all elements on login page. Additionally, the plugin improves login security by removing error messages upon failed login attempts.

To utilize the custom logo feature, users should first upload their logo (ideally as a transparent PNG) to their media library where the URL can by copied. Install the plugin and go to the settings page. Enter the URL. Enter width and height of logo, if different from defaults. Click “Save Changes”.
