Here are some places to start: [Developer’s guide to Discourse Themes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/developer-s-guide-to-discourse-themes/93648), [Theme Developer Quick Reference Guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/theme-developer-quick-reference-guide/110448), [Adding to plugin-outlets using a theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-to-plugin-outlets-using-a-theme/32727). ---

In addition to what Jay shared, adding a link to the login page requires some advanced web dev skills as you’d need to add/edit plugin outlets via a theme. The links Jay shared explained the concepts and give some examples on how to do this. Once you go through them, can you come back if you have some more questions? Also, if you have a visual mockup of what you want to do, someone may just have the code or the theme component you need. ---

I see you’ve re-asked this question in a different topic: [Modify the URL of 'create your account' button to an external site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/modify-the-url-of-create-your-account-button-to-an-external-site/219052) so I’ll go ahead to close this one. ---

> [@guoxing](#): > > the log in button > Or Modify ’create your account‘ links to external websites Maybe what your really want is to use [DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourseconnect-official-single-sign-on-for-discourse-sso/13045)? ---
