Admin Custom Login

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 57% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

Reviewers who like the login screen customization say it's easy and good looking, while others report the plugin breaking site logins, blocking WP_DEBUG error reporting, and refusing to deactivate cleanly.

   Thanks for this plugin! I’ve been meaning to add a thankyou for some time. The images transition nicely and add flavour to my login screen 🙂

   This plugin in its newest version (I don’t know when it was introduced, but an older version didn’t have this problem) disables error_reporting from the entire WordPress-installation when WP_DEBUG is enabled. I had to comment out error_reporting(0) in four different files from this plugin, to get WP_DEBUG to work properly again. The errors this plugin produces (it’s a lot) should actually be fixed and handled properly, instead of ignored like this (and also creating problems for debugging other stuff). At the very least it should not disable error_reporting. Another problem is that it’s not made with multisite in mind. This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by prebennor.

   We love this plugin. It’s full of customizations and the plugin developer is lightning fast to fix any reported issues or bugs. Even better, this plugin is fully compatible with all caching plugins and PHP 8.1.3+
