Custom Login Template

  • I’m currently using version 1.6.2 but I modified it to use a custom ‘login.php’ file from my current theme directory, or fall back on the default if none is available.

    I just saw your plugin was updated to version 1.7 and in the changelog we have: “Added ‘password_protected_theme_file’ filter to allow custom login templates.” How does this work exactly?

  • Hi Jon

    Make a copy of the Password Protected login.php template in your theme folder and customise it. You can rename it if you like too.

    Then use the password_protected_theme_file filter to return the path to your new file like this:

    function my_password_protected_theme_file( $file ) {
    return get_stylesheet_directory() . '/password-protected-login.php';
}
add_filter( 'password_protected_theme_file', 'my_password_protected_theme_file' );

    Further documentation available here.

    Hi, Ben,
    I’m not a developer (so please excuse me if I’m asking a silly question). Does this new feature mean that I can somehow put a custom background picture onto the password protect page?

    Hi there,
    the plugin uses the standard WP login screen, so you can style pretty much everything, and also use hooks to add extra content. There is a great, in-depth codex page about this:
