Hi WordPress Forum,
I recently installed wordpress on my domain and started playing around with different themes. I finally installed a theme that apparently has no "log in" fields. This produces a nice clean looking blog for sure. But it is now impossible for me to log in to my administrative panel to make any posts or modifications. Is there some hotkey combination that makes the login widget appear or what am I supposed to do to use my blog again?
Try using http://domain.com/wp-admin

Hey esmi,
Great idea. It worked. That was exactly the kind of information I was looking for. I prefer the cleaner wordpress themes that don't have all kinds of links and controls on the home page for all visitors to see.
Do you know of a quick and easy way to find themes that don't have the sign in on the home page or is there a simple way to remove it that you know of?
Thanks again!
Unfortunately, themes in the Theme Directory tend to be filtered based upon what they add - not what they omit. You could try looking for some minimalistic 1 or 2 column themes.
is there a simple way to remove it that you know of?
Usually, yes. The method for doing so will differ for each theme. Methods include finding the file that includes the login & erasing those lines of code, setting the login code to display: none via CSS, removing the meta widget... all depends on the theme, but it's certainly possible to remove it. "Simple" is a relative term though, depends how comfortable you are with the things I mentioned. ;-)

Thanks Esmi & Zoonini,
As I learn more, your advice will make more sense to me.
