WordPress is the popular content publishing platform with great support and updates. It’s not only about support and updates rather WordPress can be customized to any needs and to me that is what makes WordPress a successful content management solution. Recently I got mails from some of my readers asking how to customize the default WordPress login page and add their own custom logo and background.
The topic is not new to the web, but instead of sharing code snippets I preferred some WordPress plugin that can perform the task in minutes. Pathway is a premium WordPress plugin which lets you to customize the WordPress login page in literally less than 5 minutes.
