If your WordPress blog requires users to log in, I’m sure you are already aware of the WordPress branded login and registration pages used. While it may be frustrating to bloggers and website owners, it can be downright confusing to your visitors.  Unless your site is technical in nature, your typical user has probably never heard of WordPress and may think they’re logging into a site other than yours when they see the WordPress logo.

After spending some time searching for a solution to this issue, I found several tips, tricks and hacks. Unfortunately, most of the solutions involved changing WordPress files and creating your own graphic to be used on the login page. The problem with this approach is that the process would likely have to be repeated with each WordPress update.

Realizing there must be a better approach, I continued my search and found a great plug-in called Theme My Login by Jeff Farthing Web Design. Once installed, your login page will inherit the look and feel of your site’s theme. Using Theme My Login is as simple as installing and activating.  This plug-in is a must-have for any WordPress site that uses member registration and login.
