You need to put the full path to the image here, with the http://, as if you were going to link to it directly. This part:

“h1 a {
background:url(/wp-content/mu-plugins/custom-login/logo.png) no-repeat;

}”

This is a problem. You need to put the full path to the image here, with the http://, as if you were going to link to it directly.

We were previously using a plugin provided by James at WPMUdev but that didn't seem to work - hence trying this one out (which incidentally I already prefer the look of!) I can't really help much more with what is wrong as there's no errors, no nothing showing up! Currently my CSS file reads: /* Custom Login Styles */ h1 a { background:url(/wp-content/mu-plugins/custom-login/logo.png) no-repeat; } I tried it with /* Custom Login Styles */ h1 a { background:url(ogo.png) no-repeat; } Could it be because I've changed the file to logo.png? Cheers for any help Sam unfortunately I cannot get this to work for me – am on 2.8.4a and have tried all the little suggested work arounds as mentioned above.

Currently my CSS file reads:

/* Custom Login Styles */

h1 a {

Could it be because I’ve changed the file to logo.png?

Cheers for any help

It worked like a charm for me and also allowed me to add some custom text to the login screen. I wanted to have a Policy Statement displayed on every login and this allowed me to do also.

There is no need to include the directory there as CSS looks in its own directory if none is defined. Then it should work. Change the background image url in your custom-login.css like:

background: url(logo.jpg) no-repeat …

There is no need to include the directory there as CSS looks in its own directory if none is defined. Then it should work.

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 06:36:27 +0000 http://wpmututorials.com/?p=150#comment-992 Hello, Thanks for this custom login screen look, works perfectly with 2.8.1. I've got a question regarding custom authentication: according to the docs, wp has a hook "wp_authenticate": "Runs to authenticate a user when they log in. Action function arguments: array with user name and password", so in theory I could write some function to check if user exists in our local system. Q: does it run before or after wp runs its own authentication? Docs say it accepts array with username and password, but only username is passed. Is there a way to check our internal system BEFORE wp authentication using only plugins and not modifying/replacing original wpmu files (wp-login/wp-signup etc)? Hello,
