WordPress login page styling - WishList Member

Have you checked out the WordPress login page styling option in WishList Member? It is a powerful feature that addresses a few common questions related to member login.

What if you could customize the default WordPress login page so that it matched the look and feel of your site? Wouldn't it be nice to remove the WordPress logo and replace it with your own logo? Changing the colors and layout would be great too.

This is where the WordPress Login Page Styling comes in.

All the details are included below (including Video Tutorials).

Your members can login using any WishList Member or WordPress login option. This means the default WordPress login page can be used by your members to login.

But that login page includes the WordPress logo and very basic styling. The way it looks can take members out of the mindset of being in your membership site. So lets go ahead and quickly customize it.

Note: You can view the WordPress login page for a site by adding /wp-login.php or /wp-admin to the end of a site URL.

Example:

wlptest.com/wp-login.php
wlptest.com/wp-admin

Below is an example of the default WordPress login page.

You can easily select one of the custom templates in WishList Member to apply to the WordPress login page and can even customize it further if you want. This makes for a better login experience for your members.

The WordPress Login Page Styling can be found in the Advanced Options > Logins > Styling section of WishList Member. You can use the slider to enable this feature and the options will appear.
