Next time make a add_filter in your functions file!

add_action(“login_head”, “my_login_head”);
function my_login_head() {
echo ”

body.login #login h1 a {
background: url(‘”.get_bloginfo(‘template_url’).”/images/logo-login.gif’) no-repeat scroll center top transparent;
height: 90px;
width: 400px;
}

“;
}

I don’t know if anyone has said it before, but this is not the grestest way to do this, especially if you are doing it for someone else.

Anything in the wp-admin folder should not be touched because these are core files which will get overwritten by an upgrade.

You should use a plugin to achieve the effect you want, you can find info on how to do this here:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Admin_Themes#Change_Log-In_page.27s_style

Basically you need to append a stylehsheet to your login page. Once you have done so, you can easily change the login image, it is actually the background of an element, so in your stylesheet:

#login h1 a {
background: url(‘path_to_image.gif’)
}

That said, modifying the Wordpress core files achieves the same effect, it is not necessarily a bad thing to do so if you are aware of the “risks”.

Hope I could help, and in any case, thank you for the article, I love your work

Thanks for the great tut.
