Take Your WordPress Login Experience from Clunky to Clean with Frontegg

The default WordPress login page has been around forever. But that doesn’t mean it’s doing your site, or your team, any favors.

With the Frontegg SAML SSO Plugin for WordPress, we’re bringing modern identity control to the world’s most popular CMS. This plugin replaces WordPress’s native login and logout flows with secure, standards-based SAML authentication via Frontegg.

A cleaner, smarter login experience

Here’s what you get right out of the box:

• Secure SAML 2.0 login and logout
• Automatic redirection from wp-login.php to your Frontegg-powered login
• Auto-generated Service Provider values (Entity ID, ACS URL, SLO URL)
• Configurable post-logout redirects
• Admin-friendly interface built with native WordPress components

Plus, it’s fully compliant with WordPress.org plugin standards, including nonce validation, input sanitization, and rewrite rule safety.

Fast to install. Simple to set up.

You can go from install to live in minutes. Just:

1. Upload the plugin to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder
2. Activate it from the WordPress admin panel
3. Go to Frontegg SAML SSO in the admin menu
4. Follow the four-step setup:
   • Step 1: Create a SAML Application in your Frontegg Dashboard
   • Step 2: Copy SP values (Entity ID, ACS URL, Logout URL) into Frontegg
   • Step 3: Paste your Frontegg SSO/SLO URLs and certificate into WordPress
   • Step 4: (Optional): Set a custom redirect after logout

That’s it. No code. No extra configuration. Just a smarter way to handle authentication.

What changes with Frontegg’s plugin?

When you install the Frontegg SAML SSO plugin:

• Login and logout transformed: Authentication is through your Frontegg SSO, not wp-login.php.
• Admin-first setup: Configure SSO URLs and certificates natively inside WordPress.
• Instant Service Provider (SP) values: Auto-generate and copy-paste your Entity ID, ACS URL, and SLO URL.
• Easy redirect control: Set your post-logout destination to guide users exactly where you want.
• Auto-redirect: Legacy login pages like wp-login.php quietly route users to your Frontegg-powered flow.
• Clean, native admin UI: Built using standard WordPress components for intuitive configuration.

And because we don’t cut corners, the plugin fully complies with WordPress.org security and UX standards. It’s validated and safe.

Frontegg’s plugin does more than upgrade your login page. It unlocks modern identity experiences your users expect. When visitors are redirected to your customized Frontegg-hosted login page, your WordPress site can now offer social login, passwordless login, and enterprise SSO. Setup is simple, no developer required.

This also means stronger security from the start. Your authentication flow is protected by built-in features like bot detection, impossible travel alerts, device fingerprinting, and domain and IP whitelisting. The result is a smarter, safer login experience across the board.

It just works

Activate the plugin, connect your Frontegg SAML app, and WordPress instantly levels up. No more outdated login screens. No more workaround-heavy logout logic. Just a secure, modern authentication flow that fits into your stack.
