Bob blogged about his custom login page he created using a wordpress plugin called BM Custom Login Plugin. This whole custom login page thing is not something new. I have read about this a lot before, here and there, but I dont bother to try it out. But maybe because now theres a specific plugin for that purpose, I decided to try. :)

Unfortunately, the plugin only allow me to change the image of the login box on the login page. Not more than that. But I want to do more than that. So I decided to edit the default wp-admin.css file in the wordpress core file. I dont know if this is a wise step or not, but I guess I did not alter any serious stuff. Just add some new properties and thats all :)

So now I have my own custom made login page that suits my theme.

login

Then I realised that I can also made a custom theme for my wordpress dashboard only by editing the wp-admin.css file. cool! But maybe not now. I better create another wordpress theme by then. haha My traffic increased 10 times when my FTW wordpress theme is listed in Weblogtoolscollection.com.

WOW!

I am so gonna create another one.

  1. Yeah. your wp-admin look great.

    Many tutorials out there related to this thing. BM Custom Login Plugin is the best for beginner and advanced users. Yes! why? don’t require changing core files and no worries when upgrading our wordpress. :) I think CSS2 and CSS3 can be handle at all.

    Congrats for your new traffic. WTC is a good place for people like us. Huge huge! haha

  2. I downloaded your FTW theme, I was actually surprised at the quality. Though I did have to edit the single.php file to make the pagination within the article show up. Just remember that if you start making crappy themes, you’ll be just another site with a bunch of pathetic wordpress themes that I open and close quickly. But until then, sick theme. A+

    @bob : yeah. that plugin is the best. I believe we can just add new properties into that plugin’s CSS without having to edit the core file. haha WTC is for us! :)

    @nick : thank you for the support dude! appreciate that :D

  4. i’ve been using custom admin page for about a year now, tiger admin. it does not modify the css, just add the new one. if you can do the css, creating the plugin very easy, just one wp hook to be called.

    how do you get your theme listed in weblogtoolscollection dude?

  5. i sincerely believe that customizing the login page is a waste of time. why ?

    1) Usually, you don’t use it. If cookies is turned on, you probably won’t see it at all..

    2) Nobody cares about it..

    but do it if it satisfy your desire. Personal feelings are more important than what other poeple say.

    Customizing the admin pages would proove helpful.

  7. hayat – diaorg ni rajin sembang2 ngan owner WTC… :) lagi2 Bob tu… dgn John Chow pun dia sembang… :p

    dapi, aku mengerti perasaan’mu… mari’lah..

  8. i disagree with ikram.. why?

    sebab aku run blog batch guna wordpress, so it helps a lot la kalau ada customize login page.. baru kene dengan the whole look and theme..

    our(batch) registered users do care bout that!

  9. shambie adzhan > if thats the case, i agree with you. my statement was for a single user blogger.

    wow.. got cold feeling here.. suddenly can’t make opinions…

  10. ikram, i never intended to sound harsh lor :p

    maybe because of the exclamation mark(!) eh~~

    everybody’s entitled to their own opinion ;) but do ‘voice out’ in respectful manners

    much love~

  11. look great dude!.

    but this login page is suitable for more than one author.

  12. ikram, i never intended to sound harsh lor :p

    maybe because of the exclamation mark(!) eh~~

    takde ah. tak terasa pun apa ko cakap, your comments are spot on and i do agree with your point. terima kasih point out kegunaannya untuk multi author nyer site. ^_^

    and shambie, thanks for the tip. That is exactly why i wrote “i believe” or “my opinion”, which you could agree or disagree anyway you want.

    Just get that unhomey feeling from the tuan rumah. If you don’t like a comments, just say you disagree and give out points of why. Don’t shut people down by saying you should have not say this, you should not have said that. :(

  25. Im sure many of you are like me and one of the first things you do in the morning is head here and check out the new post. Along with seeing the new posts, I’m also always checking out the blog roll rss feed and watching them grow, or shrink sometimes. In one of my past …but all in all excellent site. Keep it up!
