We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone for WP Custom Login: version 3.0.0 of the free plugin is now available, featuring a complete rebuild from the ground up. Alongside it, we’re introducing WP Custom Login PRO 1.0.0 — a brand-new premium edition that unlocks advanced customization capabilities for sites that need more.
What’s New in Free 3.0.0
Version 3.0.0 is a complete rewrite of the plugin, built around a modern settings page with a live preview that lets you see your changes in real time. This isn’t an incremental update — it’s a fresh foundation designed to make login page customization faster, more intuitive, and far more powerful than before.
Here’s a summary of what’s included in the free version:
- Granular styling controls for form containers, labels, input fields, checkboxes, and buttons — including separate hover and focus states.
- Primary and secondary button customization with font, color, size, width, and alignment options.
- Notice and error message styling with support for custom persistent notices.
- Social media icon links for popular platforms with configurable placement.
- Under-form link customization with custom links, separator styling, and an option to disable the “Back to” link.
- Custom footer with configurable text, font, color, and alignment.
- Privacy policy link and language switcher visibility and styling controls.
- “Remember Me” checkbox show/hide toggle with custom label text.
- Per-language text customization for labels, placeholders, button text, and notices.

- Improved background image controls with focal point, size, and repeat options.
- Automatic migration of existing settings from previous versions of the plugin.
