WordPress.org

Install and Activate

1. Unzip the downloaded SimpleModal Login zip file
2. Upload the simplemodal-login folder and its contents into the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation
3. Activate SimpleModal Login from Plugins page

Implement

There are 3 options for using the SimpleModal Login features:

a) Use wp_loginout() or wp_register() in your theme. SimpleModal Login will use the loginout and register filters to add the simplemodal-login class or simplemodal-register class to the respective link.

b) Enable the Keystroke Shortcut option. Once this is enabled, you will be able to invoke SimpleModal Login using the Ctrl+Alt+L keystroke.

c) Manually add a Log In or Register link. If your theme does not use wp_loginout() and you still want to use this plugin, you can manually edit your theme and add a login link as follows:

<a href="/wp-login.php" class="simplemodal-login">Log In</a>

<a href="/wp-login.php?action=register" class="simplemodal-register">Register</a>

Configure

1) Configure the SimpleModal Login settings, if necessary, from the SimpleModal Login option in the Settings menu. You can choose from one of the available themes as well as enable/disable the keystroke shortcut.

2) The styles can be changed with the following methods:

• Add a CSS file in your theme's directory and place your custom CSS there. The name of the file should be simplemodal-login-THEME.css. For example, simplemodal-login-default.css or simplemodal-login-osx.css.
• Add your custom CSS to your theme's style.css stylesheet
• Modify the SimpleModal Login CSS files directly in the simplemodal-login/css directory

Note: The first two options will ensure that SimpleModal Login updates will not overwrite your custom styles.
