Elements & Behavior decides what the login screen shows besides the form, and where users go after logging in or out.
What the screen shows
- Browser tab title: the title in the browser tab. Use
{site_name}for your site’s name. Leave it empty for WordPress’s own title. - Message above the login form: a short note, such as a welcome message or a support contact. Shown on the login screen only.
- “Go to site” link: hides the “← Go to site” link under the form.
- “Lost your password?” link: hides the link to the password reset screen.
- “Register” link: hides the link to the registration screen. This only hides the link: to stop people registering, untick Anyone can register in Settings → General.
- Privacy policy link: hides the link to your privacy policy page.
- Language switcher: hides the language dropdown shown on multilingual sites.
- “Remember Me”: ticks Remember Me by default.
Where users go
- After logging in, go to: a page on your site, such as a members’ area. Leave it empty for WordPress’s default: the dashboard, or the page the user was trying to open.
- After logging out, go to: a page on your site, such as the home page. Leave it empty to show the login screen again.
Enter the full address of a page on your own site, for example https://example.com/my-account/. Addresses on other sites are ignored, so the redirect can’t be used to send users somewhere unsafe.
Hiding "Lost your password?"
Users who forget their password then have no link to reset it themselves. Make sure they know another way to get help.
