Customizing the WordPress Login Logo Using the Theme Customizer’s Logo

Posted On October 18, 2023

When setting up a WordPress website for a client, it’s the little touches that make a difference. One easy change that adds a personal touch is swapping out the standard WordPress logo on the login page for the client’s own logo. By using the logo they’ve already added in the WordPress Customizer, you can give their login page a familiar feel. This guide will help you do just that!

Always back up your theme before making any changes. Directly editing theme files can be risky, and a minor oversight might cause issues with your website’s functionality.

We are going to add the following code snippet in our active theme’s functions.php file.

Accessing the theme’s functions.php file

Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard.
Go to Appearance > Theme Editor.
On the right side, find and click on the functions.php file. This is where you’ll be adding the provided code.
Add the following code snippet.

function customizer_login_logo() {
    if ( ! has_custom_logo() ) {
       return;
    }

    $custom_logo_id = get_theme_mod('custom_logo');

    $logo = wp_get_attachment_image_url($custom_logo_id, 'full');

    echo '<style type="text/css">
          #login h1 a {
                background-image: url(' . esc_url( $logo ) . ');
                background-size: contain;
                width: auto;
                height: 120px;
          }
    </style>';
}
add_action( 'login_head', 'customizer_login_logo' );

If you don’t see the Theme Editor option under Appearance it means that you are using a Full Site Editing theme. We will cover this scenario in an upcoming tutorial.

And that’s it!

Now every time you change your website’s logo through Appearance > Customize > Site Identity the logo on your WordPress login page will also be updated.

20 Best Gutenberg Blocks Plugins for WordPress

Posted On October 12, 2020

The WordPress block editor, or “Gutenberg” as it’s widely known, was introduced in version 5.0 and despite the initial negative reception, it has both grown as a project seeing rapid improvements between WordPress major releases, but also has started gaining some traction and much needed acceptance in the WordPress community.

The new editor’s main goal was to improve the content creation experience on WordPress sites by making it more flexible and more intuitive to use. Each piece of content is a block, hence it’s name “block editor”, which can be easily manipulated and moved around to help the user achieve the desired flow in their content.

WordPress offers all the basic blocks you might need to start writing all your posts, but this did not stop third party developers from extending the functionality of the existing core blocks and creating entirely new ones which offer features not yet available in core blocks. There are many major plugins which offer custom blocks which complement their product by making it easier to use with the block editor, WooCommerce is one of them, it comes with built in blocks to display product grids, featured and on-sale products, a cart and many more.

Apart from product enhancing blocks, there are many plugins in which the blocks are the products. Developers create collections of blocks which add new functionality to the block editor, such as maps, testimonials, ratings, tabs, food menus and more.
