The code below will allow us to change the WordPress login page in a few steps.

Create plugin to change WordPress login form steps

1 – Create a folder and named with your plugin’s name, example( ns-loginform )

2 – Inside your plugin’s folder we need to create another folder and named  “assets”, this folder will keep our CSS styling.

3 – On your plugin’s folder create a PHP file with your text editor and add the code below named your-plugin-name.php the name has to match the plugin’s folder name.

Your plugin PHP file will look like the same below.

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name:       your-name
 * Plugin URI:        http://yoururl.com
 * Description:       Change logo and style wordpress login form  
 * Version:           1.0
 * Author:            Your Name
 * Author URI:        http://yoururl.com
 * Text Domain:       yoururl.com

**/

/**
 *
 * Exit if accessed directly.
 */
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

/**
 *
 * Add custom background image
 */
if ( ! function_exists( 'ns_custom_login_logo' ) ) {
function ns_custom_login_logo() {
  echo '<style type="text/css">h1 a { background-image:url( http://nuno-sarmento.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/nuno_logo.svg) !important; } body{background: #e0e0e0 !important; }</style>';
}
add_action('login_head', 'ns_custom_login_logo');
}

/**
 *
 * Change image wordpress link to website home page
 */
if ( ! function_exists( 'ns_login_logo_url' ) ) {
function ns_login_logo_url() {
  return get_bloginfo( 'url' );
}
add_filter( 'login_headerurl', 'ns_login_logo_url' );
}

/**
 *
 * Change login title
 */
if ( ! function_exists( 'ns_login_logo_url_title' ) ) {
function ns_login_logo_url_title() {
  return 'Nuno Sarmento - Freelance WordPress Developer';
}
add_filter( 'login_headertitle', 'ns_login_logo_url_title' );
}
