Comment:
I was able to reproduce this issue on a fresh WordPress installation.
On the installation success screen (wp-admin/install.php?step=2), the “Log
In” action is rendered as a plain text link instead of using standard
WordPress button styling. This makes the primary next step less visible
and inconsistent with other admin UI patterns.
I’ve prepared a patch that updates the markup to use the existing admin
button classes (button button-primary) for the “Log In” link. This
improves visual consistency and usability without changing any
functionality.
Expected behavior:
The “Log In” action should be styled as a primary button, similar to other
key actions in wp-admin.
Actual behavior:
The link appears as unstyled text.
Patch attached. Please let me know if any changes or additional tests are
required.
