login_headertext Filter
Filters the link text of the header logo above the login form.
To use the login_headertext filter, first you have to register it using add_filter. You can write this code into the functions.php of your activated theme or in a custom WordPress Plugin.
We at WePlugins always prefer to create a custom WordPress Plugin while using hooks so nothing breaks when you update your WordPress Theme in the future.
In the below live example, we have defined a function modify_login_headertext_defaults which takes 1 parameter and we registered it using add_filter. The first parameter login_headertext is the name of the hook, the second parameter modify_login_headertext_defaults is the name of the function which needs to be called, the third parameter is the priority of calling the hook if the same hook is used multiple times, and the last parameter is the number of arguments (if any) to be passed in the registered function.
Sometimes, you have to remove a registered hook so you can use remove_filter to remove the login_headertext filter.
Parameters
Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook.
- $login_header_text: (string) The login header logo link text.

function weplugins_customize_login_headertext( $headertext ) {
$headertext = esc_html__( 'Welcome to WordPress', 'plugin-textdomain' );
return $headertext;
}
Live Example 2: Modify Login Header Text Defaults
Below is an example of how you can modify the login header text defaults.
function weplugins_modify_login_headertext_defaults($login_header_text) {
// Update the $login_header_text variable according to your website requirements and return this variable. You can modify the $login_header_text variable conditionally too if you want.
return $login_header_text;
}
// Add the filter
add_filter( "login_headertext", "weplugins_modify_login_headertext_defaults", 10, 1 );
Live Example 3: Remove a Hook Callback
To remove a hook callback, use the example below.
remove_filter( "login_headertext", "weplugins_modify_login_headertext_defaults", 10, 1 );
Please make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.
