Styling the wordpress login
4 replies · Started by Carole on August 23, 2020
Hello,
I am trying to follow some instructions given to me to style the Wordpress login but it does not work:
1. I added this in the functions.php child theme -
function my_custom_login() {
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . '/login/custom-login-styles.css" />';
}
add_action('login_head', 'my_custom_login');
2. Created a LOGIN folder in the Generate Press Child theme folder
3. Create a custom-login-styles-css sheet in the login folder
Unfortunately, any CSS changes I make in the CSS files don't change anything.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,
try the login_enqueue_scripts hook instead of the login_head
Thank you!
I tried the following CSS - body.login {
background-color: #313b3d;
}
but no luck:(

I followed the instructions by changing
function my_custom_login() {
echo ‘<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”‘ . get_bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’) . ‘/login/custom-login-styles.css” />’;
}
add_action(‘login_head’, ‘my_custom_login’);
to
function my_custom_login() {
echo ‘<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”‘ . get_bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’) . ‘/login/custom-login-styles.css” />’;
}
add_action(‘login_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_custom_login’);
Is this correct?
Thanks
