Quite possibly the most simple and useful WordPress plug-in you never knew you needed! Quick Admin Links is a small widget. Put it at the top of your sidebar, and it adds some useful admin links on every page, allowing you to add new posts/pages, edit existing posts/pages, go to the admin, or log out. In short, it’s everything the meta widget should have been, without the annoying extra links.
Quick Admin Links is intelligent. It doesn’t display at all unless the user is logged in (or unless you choose to display a log-in link). And if you are logged in, it will only show links that are relevant to your capabilities and the page you are on. You also have complete control over what is displayed, so you can turn off any links you don’t use.

<h4>How to use the Flexible Frontend Login shortcode on your site</h4>
On the widget settings page choose the Flexible Frontend Login and adjust the settings to your site.
In a post or page place <code>[flexible-frontend-login]</code>
By default the shortcode uses the settings set on the admin options page
You can override those default values with the following parameters and options:
<ul>
<li><code>vertical=top, bottom</code></li>
<li><code>horizontal=left, right</code></li>
</ul>
So your shortcode might look like this:
<ul>
<li><code>[flexible-frontend-login vertical=bottom horizontal=left]</code></li>
</ul>
If you want to use the centered login form with darkened overlay in the background 
use <code>[flexible-frontend-login-modal]</code> without any parameters.
<h4>How to use the Flexible Frontend Login template tag on your site</h4>
In template files place:
<code><?php if ( function_exists('flexible_frontend_login') ) flexible_frontend_login( 'bottom', 'left' ); ?></code>
To change popups behavior you can use
<ul>
<li>“bottom” or “top”</li>
<li>“left” or “right”</li>
</ul>
For popup with overlay use:
<code><?php if ( function_exists('flexible_frontend_login_modal') ) flexible_frontend_login_modal(); ?></code>
