Using WordPress as a CMS – Customise Admin Login Page

When you’re using WordPress as a CMS for clients, it’s a good idea to customise the Admin Login page so the client feels the ownership of the Admin console that they will be using. It doesn’t have to be complicated, by placing the following code into functions.php of the current theme, almost half the work of customising is done.

/* ADMIN */
// Use your own external URL logo link
function custom_url_login(){
return "http://www.anansi.com.au/"; /
}
add_filter('login_headerurl', 'custom_url_login');

// Custom WordPress Login Logo/CSS
function login_css() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'login_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/login.css' );
}
add_action('login_head', 'login_css');
