   There still seems to be an endless loop with sidebar login. I've had to resort to using the old "Meta" widget for now. Too bad, I loved this plugin.

   I'm not a programmer so I'm not sure how to help other than by saying I have cleared caches on my server and computer, but this error happens from several different computers using several different browsers so I don't think it's a cache issue.

   I type in a username then password and when I hit enter (or click login) I am returned to entering a username and password. Sidebar login simply will not pass the uname and pword to wordpress or else is just stuck in a loop somewhere.

   Oh, and Yes I did resave settings and tried other suggestions in other related conversations, and this issue only began after I updated to 3.2.1 (wordpress version). I did the updates for sidebar-login, but none of the updates worked. I have not changed my site at all except for the overall wordpress update so I doubt very much that it is a css issue as suggested in one of the other conversations.

   to: http://mysite.com/blog/wp-admin, but it just keeps going back to the front page. No Worries. I've switched over to the regular meta...

   Since your problem is solved and Mine is not I Figured I post here for a fix Hope you don't mind.
   @Mike
   I love the Plugin Widget. I'm having the same problem
   If I log in and hit the enter it loads the front page again and shows I'm not logged it. But if I go to another page on the site the dashboard, log out and my avatar shows.

   Here is my setup in the config:
   

   Logged out heading - Login
   Logged in heading - Welcome %username%
   Login redirect - http://nli.arrl.org/
   Logout redirect - http://nli.arrl.org/
   Show Register Link - Checked
   Show Lost Password Link - Checked
   Show Logged in Avatar - Checked
   Logged in links - <a href="http://nli.arrl.org/wp-admin/">Dashboard</a>|true
   and
   <a href="http://nli.arrl.org/wp-admin/profile.php">Profile</a>

   thanks
   Mitch

   Hi Mike,

   I've been running into this error for a bit now (I'm using WordPress 3.2.1). It's one reason by I've stayed with 2.2.15, but now it's being impacted as well. I was able to confirm that it appears to happen ONLY on the home page, which is really strange. On posts, etc. it appears to work fine.

   I would appreciate any help with this - thanks!
