    Dear Author,
    your Sidebar login plugin is truly great.

    One feature I would however miss: it certainly is great if people can use the “forgotten password” feature and if you help them by putting a link in your plugin. Sometimes, it however is necessary, that a password cannot be changed (e.g. if you give out the same username/password to more than one person).

    It would be great if this feature could be switched on and off in the options. Do you see a possibility for such a thing?

    yours
    Thunda

    Is there any way of putting this in horizontally in my wordpress site? instead of vertically i.e in a sidebar, but to have it running horizontally e.g above my naviagtion bar. How could I implement this? is it at all possible?

    @uili: ? If you want to remove them, you need to remove them from the source – but if they miss those fields you get ugly wordpress error screen so they are probably best :)
    @Sam: CSS is your friend. Float the elements by adding rules to your themes stylesheet.

    @Mike Jolley

    Hello,

    I’m using 2.2.12 and I have 2 requests.

    1 – Could you please replace the string “Dashboard” and “Profile” (line 82) by a __() function. This will allow the plugin to work out of the box for languages other than english

    2 – The plugin html code is not optimized for RTL display. But it’s easy, it’s as simple as modifying the wp_sidebarlogin_css() function and replace the first line (line 485) with:
    $text_direction = strtolower(get_bloginfo('text_direction'));
    $myStyleFile = WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/sidebar-login/style-' . $text_direction .'.css';

    Then of course you need to rename style.css to style-ltr.css and create the file style-rtl.css.

    If you don’t have time and want me to do the job just throw me an email to X@Y.com (X = nabil and Y = kadimi).

    And thanks for this great plugin.

      Just posting to let current users know that I’m closing the forum on Blue-Anvil. This is mainly due to spam-registrations getting out of hand and being a general nuisance. I will be posting good topics as FAQ items within posts if applicable.

      Please note that you can still post and get help for my plugins/themes by posting on the wordpress.org website.

      If you have used it as-is, made your own child-theme or done something creative with it, please show off your MiniCard’s in the comments, I’d love to see how the theme is being used!

    • Spam Stopper updated for WordPress 3.0

      My Spam Stopper plugin has been updated for WordPress 3.0 (version 3.1.3) – you can grab it here. Sorry this update took longer than my other plugins but this one gets less lovin’ – if you want to change that feel free to donate, spread the word, or rate it on the WordPress.org plugin page.

    • SexyBookmarks & Tr.im

      Just a notice to users of the brilliant http://www.sexybookmarks.net/ plugin by shareaholic – If you use tr.im (as I have on a few client sites) be aware tr.im has ceased operation so you may see errors on your blog or in your source code; it screwed up the background and headings on one of my blogs.

      To fix, go to sexybookmarks options, switch services in the “Which URL Shortener?” box, and tick the box to reset all short urls. Once done, your blog should return to normal.
