Great plugin.

Having one issue. The option for leaving the “Login redirect URL” field blank in order to leave the user on the current page is giving me fits. If I leave the field blank it always redirects the user to the Dashboard. If I fill the field in with anything else, it redirects to whatever link just fine. But I’d really prefer to leave my users where they are when the login. The logout works just fine. I’ve read through all the comments and all the stuff out at the Wordpress.org extend section and can’t seem to find anything that will help. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks Mike
One more simple q – can the dashboard and profile links be hidden or disabled in any way ? Thanks
Daniel

@Daniel de Klerk: This plugin does not handle registration, only login. There are other plugins to prevent dashboard access. You can only remove the text through css or editing the code. Finally, add extra css styles to your theme's style.css if you need to make it fit with your theme better. @garrett: You don't have any extra line breaks in the admin section textareas do you?

How do I add a captcha to this sidebar plugin ? Mine does not work now (si-captcha) but anything else you can suggest that will work here is fine with me . Just need to get automated regs and posts out , or try to at least .

Hi Mike ,
This is a very nice plugin . I would like to know how to fix a problem or 2 .

1)When you register or login and do something wrong you are redirected to the wp login/register page and from there to the dashboard which is defeating the plugin purpose .
2)Can the LOGIN text on top be removed by any means ? I would like to not have it there .
3)How do I move the text and blocks a bit to the left to fit into my sidebar ? I cannot see anything relevant in the css ?

I am not a fundi but does understand a bit coding etc but sometimes does get blond moments .

Please have a look at my site to see how much the text have to be moved .

Thank you very much
Daniel

hello mike,

once logged in, with no redirect upon login, there is an extra li element in ul class=”pagenav”. its always there in the page source. i never would have noticed but i was trying to display the links i added in the admin and the logout link inline and when displayed inline it adds an extra li marker.

played around with it a little bit but its kind of late, any ideas?

thanks very much, nice light and easy plugin.

Mike,

Excelent script! Was looking for this and don’t get it why WP haven’t used this still.

Works for 2.9.2 also!
