Description
Login Message displays custom notices and instructions directly on the WordPress login form, adding a configurable field in the admin dashboard where you write the text that appears above the wp-login.php screen. Developed by WPMU DEV, it serves those who need to communicate access policies, maintenance schedules, or password reset guidance right on the screen where users arrive to authenticate.
