Want to white-label or customize the WordPress admin login screen? Here’s your solution – use one of these plugins and you don’t have to do any coding work at all. Clients will be happy with their sexy custom login screens, and you’ll be seen as a WordPress genius!
Custom Login Pro
WordPress Custom Login Pro is a plugin that gives you full control of your wp-login.php page. Create unlimited designs using WordPress’ native custom post types! That’s right, save as many different designs as you like, or just use one and be done.
Custom Login Pro comes with four default “posts” known as designs. Each post allows you to upload your own images and set your custom CSS in the content body.
There is a free version found in the WordPress plugin repository.
It also removes all default WordPress style sheets from the login screen which are hooked into login_enqueue_scripts (which the free version doesn’t) and it writes the CSS to a file which allows the page to load the design without having to access the database.
White Label Branding
Are you a WordPress developer or a Web Designer who uses WordPress to develop websites for your clients? Have you ever wished that it was easier to customize the menus and logos in WordPress and to decide which menu’s the users have access to?
With White Label Branding for WordPress, you can do exactly this. Take full control over the branding in wp-admin and decide who has access to what features. With the latest version of White Label Branding, you have the ultimate tool for customizing WordPress admin and your login screen.
It includes a powerful Role and Capability Manger, which will allow you to create new user Roles and assign Capabilities.

I narrowed my choice down to ‘white label cms’ and ‘White Label Branding’.
My client has several employees working within the cms on a daily basis to update content and therefore I need to define which menu items to show up based on user role (editor etc.).
Which of the two would be better suited for that task in your opinion?
There’s also White Label CMS
🙂
Have a look at AG Custom Admin … it allows you to customize the whole admin area incl the login screen i believe. It’s also free.
Looks good Jeff, will have to try that one out as well.
