WP Admin changes on upgrades

  • Just curious about this - when customizing the back end somewhat with Wordpress, if I replace the graphics for the login to match a company brand, when Wordpress upgrades to the next version does it replace those images with the default ones?

    I've tried a couple of admin theme plugins and I have yet to find one I'm happy with. I'm not looking to remove the fact that it's wordpress or to keep them from clicking back to wordpress - I reference it in the graphic and don't change the location, but isn't it just far easier to replace the branding there if it stays?
  • You might want to check with WP on the whole "removing all branding" thing, not sure if that's allowed. You certainly can't brand it to be a product of your own.

    I have no idea re: the original question though.
  • Hmmm, I can't find any direct information on the legality of that. I am seeing numerous posts by WP forum moderators supporting custom login themed plugins, so I'm thinking there shouldn't be a problem since I'm basically just doing the same thing those are but taking a manual route.
