I’m looking for this answer too!
OK, this helped me figure it out:

I created a new Page Called Log In/Register.
In that page, I put a link to the login.php file.
My PAGE has this code in it…example looks like this:
<a href="http://www.YOURSITENAME.com/wp-login.php" target="_self">LOG IN</a>
<a href="http://www.YOURSITENAME.com/wp-login.php?action=register">REGISTER</a>
Hello Cpein, I really thank you for your hint!!! 🙂
I couldn’t get it to work – I’m a newbie, and could really use some help with this plugin. Thanks
OK, nevermind – I finally figured out that all I need to do is: under Settings: General: check box for “Membership” to select “Anyone can Register”.
I found that using this plugin in conjunction with the ‘sidebar login’ plugin works well, no need to get your hands dirty with code.

you have to drag it onto your sidebar in the Widgets section.
