If you are developing or designing your website, it is always important to include both compelling content and eye-catching brand. Technically, if a customer comes to your website, you want the visit to get a positive impression of your organization and remember what they found. Nevertheless, it is much easier said than done.
The best thing is that WordPress offers numerous tools to creating a powerfully branded site. All what it takes are some easier steps, like picking the most suitable theme, implementing the custom logo and then integrating precise contact channels.
These are simple functions you can add to your functions.php file without the need for any plugins. The following has been tested for WordPress 3.9.
Customize Your WordPress Login Page
When you or your client first login to your website, the login page is one of the first things shown. Here is a simple filter you can add to your functions file to add your own logo to the login page.
//WP Login Logo
function ft_login_logo() {
echo '<style type="text/css">
body.login div#login h1 a {
background-image: url(https://www.flytonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/paypal_logo.png);
padding-bottom: 20px;
background-size: auto !important;
width: auto !important;
}
</style>';
}
add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', 'ft_login_logo' );
Basically this involves adding your own css background image for the logo. You can customize it for different spacing and perhaps a background pattern with logo.
Removing Dashboard Widgets
You can easily remove dashboard widgets in your WordPress admin area using the following function per codex:
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'ft_remove_dashboard_widgets');
function ft_remove_dashboard_widgets () {
//Remove widgets from dashboard
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_primary', 'dashboard', 'side' ); //WordPress.com Blog
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_secondary','dashboard', 'side' ); //Other WordPress News
remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_incoming_links','dashboard', 'normal' ); //Incoming Links
}To add your own widget you can use the wp_add_dashboard_widget() function.
Editing the Footer Text in the WordPress Admin Area
You can easily alter the text at the footer of the WordPress admin area using this function.
function ft_remove_footer_admin () {
echo '<a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">Flytonic</a> Affiliate Themes and Products Powered by <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a>';
}
add_filter('admin_footer_text', 'ft_remove_footer_admin');
Just modify the text in between the echo quote.
