  1. For a long time I am searching for it and finally I got it. Thank you very much :)

  2. You can also use “Theme my login” plugin for more customization that also allows to login from page and redirect back :)

    • Are you using it? Please tell me your website, I want to check it :) Thanks for suggestion!

      • Yeah we are using this plugin along with “custom login page” because, theme my login doesn’t bring any change to default wp-login.php

        and yeah the website is tathya.net which, is not mine as I am just one of the editor of the site and worked with it’s webmaster before creating the site.

      • Additionally, theme my login plugin use seperate page to login like “yoursite.com/login”- isn’t it great :)

  3. wow thanks cool plugin

  4. Thanks for linking back to my site. Sorry I didn’t get back to you as quickly as I should have. Things have been hectic for at work lately and it’s been keeping me away from my plugin development. Looks great! and thanks again for the link back.

    Cheers!
    Chris
