Login Image Plugin image has black background ….

I’m 0 for 2 here on plugins. Was unable to upload logo using logon-image plugin, but realized from php error I was getting that I needed to create folder in wp-content for logo… now when I upload an image the logo is off center and has a black background, this applies as well to using the stock wordpress logo, it too is transformed to black bg …

    That makes sense. Can I make a suggestion? It would make sense to add that to the logon-image page requirements ….. you might have noticed also that the image isn’t centered, which probably isn’t acceptable for somebody using the plugin for commercial purposes… I guess I can make an off-center image, but that seems counter-intuitive.

    Also, with free plugins, I expect to have to muck around when something isn’t working, with paid plugins, I feel differently. I think it’s fair to expect some sort of documentation. Especially if there is a requirement or likelihood that folder creation may fail or not go as expected. Free plugins such as wp-database tell you that if folder backup-db is not created in wp-content, then go create it, the same should be true here. The twenty or thirty minutes I spent mucking around can be prevented for myself and others if there is couple quick sentences of documentation saying that if you have problems, try this!

    Thank you for your help, I greatly appreciate it!!!

    Hiya,

    you might have noticed also that the image isn’t centered, which probably isn’t acceptable for somebody using the plugin for commercial purposes…

    I’ll look into this but there may not be much I can do due to the way the plugin has to display the image.

    I’ve added a note about the directory to the install.txt for this plugin.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Open login-image.php and add to the css </style> block: margin-left: XXpx; (adjust the number of pixels to suit your image.

    You can also open your transparent image and place it on the appropriate background #f9f9f9 (i think). It can easily done with The Gimp if you don’t have an appropriate image editing app.

    Ya, 2.7(.1?) uses a different image size. The new logo should be 310px by 70px.

    The new CSS should be:

    h1 a {

    width: 326px;

    height: 67px;

    text-indent: -9999px;

    overflow: hidden;

    padding-bottom: 15px;

    display: block;

    }

    I updated the plugin myself, but you should release a new version.
