About Change WordPress Admin Logo
From the official readme · v1.4Description
Change WordPress Admin Logo is a lightweight plugin that replaces the default WordPress logo on the login page with a logo of your choice. Whether you are building a site for a client or branding your own website, it gives you a quick way to personalise the login screen with no CSS tweaks or code editing.
Pick an image from the media library and save. The plugin reads the image dimensions and sizes the logo to fit the login form while keeping its proportions, so wide, square, and tall logos all display correctly without any manual sizing. Width and Height fields are available when you want a specific size.
Features
- Choose any image from the media library as the login logo
- Automatic sizing that keeps the logo proportions and fits the login form
- Optional Width and Height fields for a specific size
- Preview of the selected logo on the settings page
- No coding or custom CSS required
- Lightweight: one style block on the login page, nothing on the front end
Usage
- After activation, open Custom Admin Logo in the WordPress admin sidebar.
- Click Choose Logo Image and pick or upload an image in the media library.
- Leave Width and Height empty to size the logo automatically, or enter a value in either field.
- Click Save Changes. Your login screen now shows the custom logo.

Frequently asked questions
How do I upload my custom logo?
Open Custom Admin Logo in the admin sidebar, click Choose Logo Image, pick or upload an image, and click Save Changes.
What size will the logo be?
With Width and Height left empty, the logo is shown at its own size, kept within 320px wide (the width of the login form) and 100px tall, with its proportions preserved. Enter a Width to make it larger; the height follows the image proportions. Enter a Height and the width follows. Enter both to use exact values.
What image formats are supported?
Any image the media library accepts, such as PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP. A transparent PNG gives the best result. Automatic sizing needs an image with known dimensions, so an SVG is shown in a 320 by 100 box unless you set a size.
Will this plugin work with any theme?
Yes, this plugin works independently of your theme. It replaces the logo on the default WordPress login screen regardless of the active theme.
I updated from an earlier version and the logo is not sized automatically.
Open Custom Admin Logo, clear the Width and Height fields, and click Save Changes once. This records the image dimensions used for automatic sizing.
