custom login/registration page

    So, in reading through the forums, it appears there used to be a plugin that enabled us to customize the appearance of the login and registration pages, but that plugin has not been made 2.6.n compatible. Am I correct in assuming that we’re just waiting for this fix, or are there other ways to do this?

    All I really want to do is add my own background image to the login page, so it’s more obvious to people that they’re still on my site when they do this stuff.

    Any suggestions?

    No?

    There definately is a way to do it, but you’ll have to know a bit about PHP (or at least how to read code).

    This page has a link to the article that will guide you through what you need to modify in “wp-login.php” and a sample file to the “login.php” file that you’ll have to create inside your theme directory.

    What I did was I copied their sample “login.php” and took the code from my “index.php” and integrated the sidebar and footer functions with how my page and theme layout is, and there you go!

    Good luck, and don’t get frustrated if the first few times you try it you get no results. Just re-read the code and you should be able to figure it out.

    I forgot to tell you that I’m running WP 2.7.1 and have my registration options managed with Register Plus (even though it says only 2.6 compatible, I haven’t run into any problems yet)
