   I really like Sidebar Login (and it will be great when this other 2.3 bug is fixed).

   Please make the error messages customizable in the admin settings. In particular:

   <strong>ERROR</strong>: Please enter a username.

   and

   <strong>ERROR</strong>: Please enter your password.

   (My intent is to remove the <strong>ERROR</strong>: part, because proper styling makes it clear there is an error.)

   Many thanks for the great plugin.

   I see now that you are following the WP convention of including <strong>ERROR</strong>: at the beginning of your messages. This is probably best practice.

   New request: Create a filter. Here's what I have tried:

   foreach ($login_errors->get_error_messages() as $error) {
     $error = apply_filters('sidebar_login_error', $error);
     echo '<div class="login_error">' . $error . "</div>\n";
     break;
   }

   (Maybe that break should be removed, and an ul of errors be created. I suppose for simple sidebar login it is sufficient to show only the first error.)

   Then I add this filter to my functions.php:

   function change_login_error_message($message)
   {
       return str_replace('<strong>ERROR</strong>: ', '', $message);
   }
   add_filter('sidebar_login_error', 'change_login_error_message');

   A bit hacky to be string replacing, but works since you followed convention!
