 * Hi!
 * Can anyone tell me how to add a background-image to the login-screen?
    Would 
   be very helpful 🙂
 * Thank you!

 * That plugin will not do it for you. You’ll either need to use a different plugin
   or create a child theme and then add this to your child theme’s functions.php
   file:
 *     ```
       // Load login page style sheet
       function custom_login_css() {
       echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="'.get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/login-styles.css" />';
       }
       add_action('login_head', 'custom_login_css');
       ```
   
 * You will then need to create a `login-styles.css` file in your child theme to
   style the background.

 * okay, I’ve created a child theme and did exactly what you told me, but this didn’t
   change anything :/
 * I “have” to use this plugin because I use another plugin (Password Protected)
   which only works with Login Logo…
 * Any other idea?
 * But anyway – thanks for your help!
