Issues with login and registration screen (11 posts)

    The only way I can login to my site is if I put/wp-admin at the end of the link. Once on this page you can log-in or register. I also don't see a way for users to register or login once on my site. I have everything turned on so people can register and make comments except for moderated comments right now.

    Is something screwed up with my install? I have deactivated all plugins and that didn't solve the issue. I am also running a custom theme, but I don't think that is the problem.

    If you're ok with adding the login link to your sidebar you can go to:
    Appearance > Widgets
    and drag the widget "meta" into your sidebar, I'm assuming it'll be under your categories widget.

    I tried that and it only works if your logged in. Once I log out it disappears.

    the meta widget is the way to do it

    Are you using any sort of cache plugin? If so, the widget would not appear once logged out, unless you cleared the cache

    The meta widget links to http://website/wp-login.php
    You should be able to use it or put a link to that file any where you want it.

    or hardcoding wp_loginout() into your theme

    I will try after clearing cache. I thought I did that.

    First place the widget, then clear cache.

    If you clear cache first, it will rebuild, still without the widget
