Changing Login Logo

Question

After modifying the code in my functions.php file to display a different logo on my login page, I'm getting a blank square instead. I've added a custom .png image (326x67) to my (child) theme's image folder, and the code I've added to functions.php is as follows:

function custom_loginlogo() {
echo '<style type="text/css">
h1 a {background-image: url('.get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/images/login_logo.png) !important; }
</style>';
}
add_action('login_head', 'custom_loginlogo');

Could it be a permissions problem (like an .htaccess file blocking the image)?

Answer 1

If you are using a child theme then maybe you should try the following code. Not necessary to put !important too unless some other plugin or code is overwriting it.

function custom_loginlogo() {
    echo '<style type="text/css">
    h1 a { background-image: url('.  get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/images/login_logo.png); }
    </style>';
}
add_action('login_head', 'custom_loginlogo');
