Cannot find where to edit page?

Hey, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but I've tried on wordpress.org forums and have not received any help... I'm hoping that someone here might be able to give me the clue I'm looking for.

The problem is this page:

http://empressepublishing.com/wp-login.php

Everything is left justified as you can see. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to fix with a <p align="center"> tag around the whole thing, but I CAN'T FIND WHERE TO EDIT. I'm looking for this wp-login.php page on the Wordpress editor section, but to no avail...

Any suggestions / ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Howdy!

It's a little complex, but here is how WordPress officially suggests doing this without using a plugin: https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form

Hi Shams

Your not suppose to edit core WordPress files.

There are plugins that can handle custom white label login page. Here is a link to a tutorial https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/create-a-custom-wordpress-login-page/

Hope that may give you a clue!

Hey, thanks for the reply! I will look into it definitely.

We had been using a plugin, but even when deactivated the login remains left justified when it should be centered by default (as far as i understand...)
