Branding WordPress Backend

Branding WordPress is a good idea for websites that will be used by a team or for a corporation. In today’s article I’m going to cover a plugin that allows quick configuration of the branding on the WordPress backend.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

The first step is to install the plugin called White Label CMS. Once the plugin is installed, the menu for White Label CMS is under the Settings tab on the main left menu.

Click on White Label CMS and it will walk you through a setup menu. I usually skip the first step for Developer and go right onto the WordPress branding. On the first page I like to click ‘hide the WordPress logo’ and ‘hide WordPress version’. Next, put the admin bar logo in by uploading a logo from your library or from your desktop.

Moving along, we’re gonna move to the login which is the item in the top menu. To start, pick the login logo, then the background image. Hit the save button and then we’re going to log out to see how the new login screen looks.

You should now be able to see the background image and the logo that we have uploaded. Log back into the site and now you’ll be able to see in the upper left-hand bar there is the logo there that we added priorly. That’s all there is to doing WordPress branding!

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas. SkyPoint Studios is a market leader in both Billings & Havasu and Jophiel is working on building that same level of market dominance in Vegas.
