Code explanation

In this code, using the wp_login_form() function, we have entered the login form in the login page. This function gets an Array, you can customize username, password and password labels by entering your on text.

If the user has already logged in, he will see the following message on the login page:
Hello ‘USERNAME’! You are logged in. You can customize this message in the following part of the code:
$loging_users = ‘Hello ‘.wp_get_current_user()->user_login.’! You are logged in.‘;

If you want to edit the color of the buttons, the size of the text or the padding, you can easily apply your own customization to the CSS section of template.
