Add Login Form To WordPress Sidebar

Important: All scripts hosted on widcraft.googlecode.com don't work anymore because Google has blocked that SVN repository.

Adding a login form in your site's sidebar will surely attract your readers to login or register. It's less painful than visiting your WP's login page to login.

Mike Jolley created a great ajax-enhanced login plugin for WordPress, which is available to download at this link. This widget adds a useful login widget which you can use to login from in the sidebar of your WordPress.

How To Install:

  • Click here and download this plugin. Visit your WordPress' plugin page and install this plugin.
  • You can also install this plugin from your WP's plugin directory.

Usage:

  • Simply go to Appearance > Widgets and drag "sidebar login" to the sidebar of your choice.

After login it redirects them back to the page they logged in from. You can contribute to this awesome plugin on GitHub at this link. You can also use this widget on your WP's template with the the_widget() function.

As of writing, you can check a live demo of this widget on my wordpress site at this link. Don't forget to leave a comment.

In next few months, I'll focus on WordPress plugins and tricks. Also, #NowPlaying Started from the bottom by Drake.
