Osom Modal Login

Osom Modal Login lets you easily create a modal box (pop-up) displaying the WordPress login form. In block themes, Osom Modal Login uses the native WordPress login/out block, so you can introduce this login/out block on the header (or footer) navigation block and it will display a modal box with the login form when clicked. On the other hand, in classic themes it automatically adds a menu item named “Login”, which you can customize, at the end of the selected menu(s). Once you click on it, it will also launch the login modal box. Alternatively, you can also use the included shortcode or the native login/out block to add the modal login box in any place of the web. Features With Osom Modal Login you can customize several parameters in the options page. Both in classic and block themes: Customize “Login” text. Customize “Logout” text. Set login and logout URL redirection. Display/hide “Remember me” checkbox. Display/hide “Did you forget your password” link. Display/hide Register link. Set Register text link (if displayed). Only in classic themes: Set the title of the modal box. Select the navigation menu where you want to add login/out item. You can choose more than one or the option ‘none’ if you don’t want to add it in any menu location. You can also use the built-in shortcode to add the modal box any where in your website or use the WordPress login/out native block with the setting “Display login as form” unselected. Shortcode usage (optional) You just need to enclose your custom text in [osom-login] shortcode. For example: [osom-login] Custom text [/osom-login] Quick Setup Videos In classic themes: In block themes: If you want more info about the setup and configuration you can check the tutorials below.

Sidebar Login

Sidebar Login adds a useful login widget which you can use to login from in the sidebar of your WordPress powered blog. Once a user logs in they are redirected back to the page they logged in from, rather than the admin panel (this is configurable). If you’d like to contribute code to the plugin you can do so via GitHub. If you’d like to contribute a translation, the project is hosted on WordPress.org. Usage Simply go to Appearance > Widgets and drag “sidebar login” to the sidebar of your choice. Within the widget are several options you can use for changing the titles or the links displayed to the user. To use this widget in a template, use the the_widget() function which WordPress provides. Tags for titles + links These tags can be used in the widget settings for titles + links and will be replaced at runtime. %username% – logged in users display name %userid% – logged in users ID %firstname% – logged in users firstname %lastname% – logged in users lastname %name% – logged in users firstname + lastname %nicename% – user nice name %admin_url% – url to WP admin %logout_url% – logout url %buddypress_profile_url% – Buddypress Profile URL %bbpress_profile_url% – Buddypress Profile URL %avatar% – User Avatar Filter Reference sidebar_login_include_css – return false to not include the CSS stylesheet sidebar_login_widget_logged_in_links – An array of links shown when logged in. sidebar_login_widget_logged_out_links – An array of links shown when logged out. sidebar_login_widget_display – Return false to hide the widget. sidebar_login_widget_logged_in_title – The widget title shown when logged in. sidebar_login_widget_avatar_size – The avatar size – defaulted to 38 (thats in px) sidebar_login_widget_logged_out_title – The widget title shown when logged out. sidebar_login_widget_form_args – Arguments for the wp_login_form function. sidebar_login_widget_login_redirect – Redirect URL after login. sidebar_login_widget_logout_redirect – the redirect after logging out. sidebar_login_widget_register_url – The URL for registration links. sidebar_login_widget_lost_password_url – The URL for lost password links. sidebar_login_widget_wp_login_form – The HTML of the Login form.

Notes Due to AJAX not working across different domains (see same_origin_policy), AJAX logins will be disabled if your site it non-SSL, but the FORCE_SSL_ADMIN constant is set to true. Instead it will fallback to a traditional POST.
