Customize Login screen

Just fired up the free framework to evaluate, and right off, the login screen has been taken over by s2Member.

While the front-end (WP dashboard) interface for customizing the login page is nice for the folks that haven’t touched theirs, it is just a bunch more work for those of us that have already implemented a custom skin for our login page. I would rather spend my time on other things.

Is there a way to just “say no” to s2Member’s insistence that the skin must be styled within the plugin?

back to looking around the plugin….Thanks.

Hello Dave, thanks for your inquiry.

You can customize the s2Member logo and other aspects of the login/registration page, within s2Member.

You can do this under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Login/Registration Design.

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks for your reply. However, you may wish to re-read my original post.

I see that I can style the login from within s2Memeber.

My hope was to NOT have s2Member involve itself with the login page at all.

I have already customized it, and s2Member is destroying my work.

Perhaps include a checkbox in s2Member’s Login settings “DO NOT Style Login Page, tick the box.”

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

You can disable s2Member’s Login customizations by adding the following code to wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php (create the file if it doesn’t already exist):

<?php
add_action("ws_plugin__s2member_after_loaded", "remove_s2member_login_customizations"); 
function remove_s2member_login_customizations()
    {
        remove_action("login_head", "c_ws_plugin__s2member_login_customizations::login_header_styles");
        remove_filter("login_headerurl", "c_ws_plugin__s2member_login_customizations::login_header_url");
        remove_filter("login_headertitle", "c_ws_plugin__s2member_login_customizations::login_header_title");
        remove_action("login_footer", "c_ws_plugin__s2member_login_customizations::login_footer_design");
    }
?>

Hi Raam,

For standard wp, what would be the path to place the file?

It doesn’t currently exist, and it doesn’t seem to make any difference if I place it in any of the s2Member folders within the Plugins folder.

wp-content/plugins/s2hacks.php

or

wp-content/plugins/s2member/s2hacks.php

or

wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/s2hacks.php

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

You will need to create the /mu-plugins directory within /wp-content for this to work.

Create the s2hacks.php file, and create that folder/directory and move it into there, so the path would look like:

wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php
