Changing and removing WordPress login and admin bar logo

WordPress is my goto platform for when I want need to create a simple site where I want to user to have full control of the site and make updates if needed. They may be times when you don’t want to show the site is powered by wordpress. I’m going to show how to remove references from the wordpress logo from the admin bar and change the wordpress login logo.

Changing and removing WordPress login and admin bar logo

Add the following code snippet below into your functions.php file in your current theme.

Change the WordPress Login Logo

Replace the PATHLOGO with the logo in which you want to use.

// ---------------------------------
function change_login_logo() {
       echo '<style type="text/css">
           h1 a { background-image:url(PATHTOLOGO) !important; }
        </style>';
}

add_action('login_head', 'change_login_logo');

function change_login_logo_title(){
    return get_bloginfo('name');
}

add_filter('login_headertitle', 'change_login_logo_title');

    return get_bloginfo('url');
}

add_filter('login_headerurl', 'change_login_logo_url');
