Login Boilerplate – login web page theming (Utilities)

Want a sign-in page that doesn’t look like the WordPress default? Login Boilerplate is a lightweight plugin that allows you to truly personalise your website’s login form.

Login Boilerplate lets you assign a special login page, which you can then style however you want.

  1. Create a new login page in WordPress
  2. Build a template in your theme
  3. Tell Login Boilerplate about it

Most tutorials and plugins change the header and footer of WordPress’s wp-login.php page. Alternatively, you could embed a form on a page or sidebar using wp_login_form() but if your login attempt fails – you are again taken to wp-login.php

As well as the WordPress template tag wp_login_form(), the plugin comes with 1 additional template tag and 2 shortcodes:

  • login_errors()
  • [login_errors]
  • [login_form]

The plugin compatible with BuddyPress and other plugins that use the default WordPress login page.
