How to Change the Login Text Color for Jetpack SSO

Introduction

BuddyBoss does not provide a built-in option to change the text color of the Jetpack Single Sign-On (SSO) message on the WordPress login page. This message typically reads: “You can now save time spent logging in by connecting your WordPress.com account to YOURSITEURL.” If you are using Jetpack, you can modify the appearance of this text by adding a small custom function to your active theme. This guide explains how to change the login text color for Jetpack SSO.

Custom Workaround

Before proceeding, make sure you have a complete site backup.

1. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor in your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Under Select theme to edit, choose your active theme (preferably a BuddyBoss Child Theme), then click Select.
3. From the Theme Files list, open Theme Functions (functions.php).
4. Add the following code just before the closing PHP tag ?>:

function bb_jetpack_login_color() { ?>

    <style type="text/css">

        #loginform #jetpack-sso-wrap p {

            color: white !important;

        }

    </style>

<?php }

add_action( 'login_enqueue_scripts', 'bb_jetpack_login_color' );

Note: Replace white with your desired color (e.g., #000000, #ff6600, or rgb(255,255,255)).

5. Click Update File to save the changes.

Note: Modifications are typically considered custom work, but we are making an exception in this case. Please review the BuddyBoss Support Policy.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The text color didn’t change.
A: Make sure Jetpack SSO is enabled and that the code is added to the active (child) theme’s functions.php. Clear any cache and refresh the login page.

Q: Can I change the font size or style as well?
A: Yes. You can add additional CSS rules inside the same block, such as:

font-size: 14px;

font-weight: 600;

Q: Will this affect other login page text?
A: No. This CSS only targets the Jetpack SSO message.

Q: Can I revert this change easily?
A: Yes. Simply remove or comment out the code from functions.php and save the file.
