Description
Above Black gives you a clean, polished login page without touching a single line of code.
All settings are managed from Settings Above Black in the WordPress admin.
Features
- Light / Dark mode toggle — switch the entire login page between a soft frosted-glass light
theme and a deep dark theme with a single click. - Custom accent color — choose any color via a visual color picker; it is applied to the login
button background. Hover and focus states shift brightness only, so your chosen color always
stays consistent. - Custom logo — select any image from the WordPress Media Library and it will appear above the
login form, replacing the default WordPress logo. - Refined positioning — the login box sits approximately 20 % higher than vertical center for a
more premium, above-the-fold feel. - Cleaner UI — removes the question-mark tooltip near the Remember Me checkbox, hides the
Privacy Policy link, and sets the password-toggle eye icon to a neutral grey by default. - No backend impact — all customizations are scoped exclusively to
wp-login.php. Your admin
dashboard remains completely untouched. - No coding required — zero PHP, CSS, or JavaScript knowledge needed.

FAQ
-
Does this affect the admin dashboard?
-
No. Above Black applies styles exclusively to the WordPress login page (
wp-login.php).
Your admin dashboard appearance is not changed in any way. -
Can I use any color for the accent?
-
Yes — a full visual color picker is available on the settings page. Any valid hex color is
accepted. The selected color is applied to the login button; hover and focus states adjust
brightness only so the base color is always visible. -
Where is the logo image stored?
-
The logo is selected from your existing WordPress Media Library. Above Black only stores the
attachment ID — no file is copied or uploaded by the plugin itself. To remove the logo, click
Remove Logo on the settings page and save. -
Will dark mode affect the WordPress admin?
-
No. Dark mode is applied only to the login page, not the admin backend.
-
Is the plugin compatible with multisite?
-
Above Black has been tested on standard WordPress installations. Multisite compatibility has
not been formally tested in this version.
