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.

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.
