At last! My sidebar login widget has evolved into ‘Sidebar Login’ which has both a widget and a template tag to allow you to have a login form in the sidebar of your wordpress powered blog.
It lets users login, and then redirects them back to the page they logged in from rather than the backend, it also shows error messages. Read more for more information and the download link.
This plugin has now been replaced by an updated version which you can find here. This version is good for wordpress versions below 2.5 and can be obtained here.

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.
Be honest, the title got you excited right? Anyhow…three of my wordpress plugins have been neglected of late so I have taken some time to do some bug fixing, add some new features, and get them working with wordpress 2.3. These three are Download monitor, Comment spam stopper, and sidebar login widget.
The latest update to Download Monitor for WordPress has been released; this version comes with a many fixes and some new features, such as improved sorting. For full details view the readme; you can grab the plugin here.
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.
Are you a user of the WordPress MiniCard theme? Its been downloaded over 14,000 times so far!
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!
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.
