width:100px;
background-size: 100px 100px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
</style>
<?php }
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', 'bdlinks_login_logo' );Don’t forget to add the background-image URL inside the bracket that you copied earlier. You can also adjust other CSS properties to match your custom logo image. Change your logo height, weight, and margin, or do what you need to make it perfect.

return home_url();
}
add_filter( 'login_headerurl', 'bdlinks_login_logo_url' );
function bdlinks_login_logo_url_title() {
return 'Your Site Name';
}
add_filter( 'login_headertitle', 'bdlinks_login_logo_url_title' );Replace ‘Your Site Name’ with the name of your website. The custom logo on your login screen will now link to the home page of your website.
