I'm trying to make the login-page prettier, but there are several things that makes it difficult (read: impossible).
I know that there are a bazillion plugins that can do some of the things, - but they're all just 'painting over' WordPress' standard login screen. And I would like to make it clean, - instead of converting my login into some patchwork-project.
Can I write my own markup for the login screen, without modifying the core code-base?
What I want to change
Here's a list of most of the things that I'm trying to do. Some of which I have found ways to make. And most of them are quite terrible...
Logo: The logo on the login-screen links to
#. I want it to link to the main login-screen (so it can be pressed from the 'Forgotten login'-page.Username-text: Be able to change 'Username or Email' to 'Email' without having to use the
gettext-hook and write a whole function for that small change.Better code for input-fields: Here's what the code looks like for the labels/input-fields:
<p>
<label for="user_login">Email<br>
<input type="text" name="log" id="user_login" class="input" value="" size="20" autocapitalize="off"></label>
</p>
... I want to add a class-name to the paragraph, remove the <br>, add a span around 'Email'. And maybe even leave the label blank, and moving the 'Email'-text outside the`-tag (for custom styling).
- Better return-text on forgotten password-page: On the 'Forgotten password'-page, in the bottom, then this link here links back the main login-page:
<p id="nav">
<a href="https://example.org/wp-login.php">Log in</a>
</p>
... It should either be 'Back to login' or 'Return to login-screen' or something that makes more sense.
- Be able to changing the order of things: I want to have the option of moving the 'Forgotten password'-link up above the 'Log in'-button.
