A number of users were experiencing errors with the sidebar login widget I created, issues such as bugs with cookies and headers sent. In a bid to stop these errors I have created a new version, compatible with wordpress 2.3.
This version is different to the others because rather than redirecting to the normal wordpress login page to log the user in, it has the code for login built into it, thus (in theory) solving the cookie/headers problems. Hoorar. Read more about the widget after the break.
This clever little widget lets users login from the sidebar, without even touching the wordpress login page. Very handy. The official post is here. Enjoy =)

The “Register” link/text is not showing up for me at all. I can see “Lost you password?” just fine, but no “Register”.
Please help! ;o)
Thank you in advance. This is a great plugin!!!

Line 37 of the code contains an unescaped ampersand which throws up a rendering error when the page is served as application/xhtml+xml as opposed to text/html.
Changing the line to read as below fixes the problem.

I was hoping that Mark Gilbert’s comment was going to give me the answer to my problem with cookies in WP 2.5, but the new line of code isn’t showing.
I really don’t know what problem his new code is aiming at fixing anyway.
Anyone?

The ampersand in the log out URL
(Line 37: … wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to= …)
should be written as a HTML-Entitie to create valid pages.

@ Lynda M - It only shows if registrations are enabled in your blog. Check wordpress settings.

First of all thanks for this great widget! My apologies if this has already been answered… but I’m having a hard time trying to change the color of the displayed username with my limited CSS knowledge. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
