<p><em>Sidebar Login</em> adds a useful login widget which you can use to login from in the sidebar of your WordPress powered blog.</p>
<p>Once a user logs in they are redirected back to the page they logged in from, rather than the admin panel (this is configurable).</p>
<p>If you’d like to contribute code to the plugin you can do so via <a href="https://github.com/mikejolley/sidebar-login" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.</p>
<p>If you’d like to contribute a translation, <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/sidebar-login" rel="nofollow ugc">the project is hosted on WordPress.org</a>.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Simply go to <code>Appearance > Widgets</code> 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.</p>
<p>To use this widget in a template, use <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget" rel="nofollow ugc">the <code>the_widget()</code> function</a> which WordPress provides.</p>

Instead it will fallback to a traditional POST.</li>

Sidebar Login

Great job! Love it when it only takes me a couple of minutes to setup and test a new plugin. Documentation is clear and simple to understand. Hooks Yeah! Will be hooking my plugin's CAPTCHA feature into your plugin. Awesome work!

Ez and quick setup - well documented - Hooks yeah!

Easily add an ajax-enhanced login widget to your WordPress site sidebar.
