Setting up WP Cloud SSO Login Button
In this tutorial we explain the steps to use the SSO Links tab in the WP Cloud SSO WordPress plugin. The configuration and setup is the same for all SAML identity providers.
This feature allows you to customise the WordPress login page. Change the WordPress login button size, location, font size, font colour of your SAML login buttons. You can also create custom WordPress widgets allowing you to place the WordPress login buttons anywhere on your website.
