FAQ
-
Does this plugin send any data to external servers?
-
No. Pievid Custom Login operates entirely on your site and makes no outbound network requests.
-
Are settings preserved on deactivation?
-
Yes. Deactivating the plugin keeps your settings. Uninstalling (Delete on the Plugins screen) removes every option and transient the plugin created.
-
Does it work on multisite?
-
Yes. Settings are stored per-site, and uninstall iterates all sites in the network to clean up.
-
How do I reset my settings?
-
Click the Reset to Defaults button at the bottom of the settings page. You will be asked to confirm before any change is made.
-
Why does my login message look slightly different in the preview vs. the real login screen?
-
The live preview renders exactly what you typed. When you save, WordPress filters the message through
wp_kses_post(), which strips disallowed tags such as<script>. If your preview includes such tags, they will not appear on the real login screen.

Changelog
2.4.0
- Added a Text Color setting that controls the “Lost your password?” link, the “Go to…” link, and the Privacy Policy link. The default of white reads cleanly on dark backgrounds; switch to a dark color if your background is light.
2.3.0
- Added rounded corners and a soft drop shadow on the login form card for a more modern look. Buttons also get slightly rounded corners.
2.2.2
- Fixed login screen layout. Previous versions injected aggressive width and !important rules on the login container that broke the layout on some sites and pushed the form off-center. The plugin now only customizes the background, button colors, and logo image; everything else is left to WordPress core.
2.2.1
- Withdrawn. Attempted to fix a login layout issue but introduced more aggressive overrides that made the problem worse. Superseded by 2.2.2.
2.2.0
- Added a live preview pane that mirrors background color, button color, logo, logo height, and login message in real time as you edit.
- Color pickers now update the preview live, including while dragging the hue slider.
- Reorganized the settings page into a two-column layout with a sticky preview sidebar.
2.1.0
- Added a media library picker and live thumbnail preview for the logo field.
- Replaced the plain color text inputs with the native WordPress color picker (wp-color-picker).
- Admin scripts and styles are scoped to the plugin’s settings screen only.
- Localized strings for the media frame title and button.
2.0.0
- Refactored into a class-based architecture.
- Added uninstall.php for full data cleanup, including multisite.
- Hardened the reset action: now uses admin-post.php with capability check, nonce, and Post/Redirect/Get.
- Added settings for logo height, button color, and login message.
- Wrapped every translated string used in HTML output in an escaped variant.
- Cached settings reads to avoid repeated database lookups.
- Added defensive fallbacks when sanitize_hex_color() returns null.
1.0.0
