FAQ
-
How do I upload an image if I don’t have a URL?
-
On the plugin’s settings page (
Appearance -> Login Logo), click the “Upload/Select Image” button. This will open your WordPress media library, allowing you to upload a new image or select an existing one. Once selected, its URL will automatically populate the field. -
What image formats are supported?
-
The plugin supports common web image formats such as JPG, PNG, and GIF.
-
What are the recommended dimensions for the logo?
-
WordPress typically displays the login logo at a height of 84px. While the plugin CSS adjusts the height to 100px by default for better visibility, it’s recommended to upload a logo with a width much larger than its height (e.g., 200px wide by 100px tall) to ensure clarity without distortion. The
background-size: containproperty will scale your image down proportionally to fit the area. -
My logo isn’t displaying correctly or is too small/large.
-
Ensure the logo URL is correct. The plugin attempts to fit the logo within the default WordPress logo area. For more precise control over sizing, padding, and advanced styling options, consider upgrading to The Lab Login Logo Replacer Pro.
-
How do I revert to the default WordPress logo?
-
Simply clear the “Custom Logo URL” field on the plugin’s settings page and click “Save Changes”.
-
Will this plugin affect other parts of my WordPress site?
-
No, this plugin is specifically designed to only modify the logo on the WordPress login screen. It does not affect your website’s front-end or other admin areas.
