Description

A simple plugin providing a link to the dashboard; and, a method to log in and out of your blog in the footer of the theme. This is ideal for those not wanting to use the meta widget/code links.

Now with an added toggle to support a minimalist approach using Dashicons.

How can I get support for this plugin?

Please note, support may be available on the WordPress Support forums; but, it may be faster to visit http://buynowshop.com/plugins/bns-login/ and leave a comment with the issue you are experiencing.

Is it really that simple?

Yes, it really is.

Can the plugin be styled?

Yes, the plugin text is wrapped in its own <div id="bns-logged-in" class="bns-login"> or <div id="bns-logged-out" class="bns-login"> depending on the login status of the user.

Copy the contents of the included bns-login-style.css file (which contains a sampling of the CSS elements generated by the plugin) and paste them into a new stylesheet bns-login-custom-style.css under ../wp-content/bns-customs/ (you may need to create this folder).
This file should not get over-written with future updates so your specific CSS will remain.

Can I use the `bns_login` shortcode in a Text widget?

Yes you can! Actually this plugin makes it possible to use any properly written shortcode to be used in a Text widget.

How do I change to the Dashicons display?

All you need to do is add the following add_filter( 'bns_login_dashed_set', '__return_true' ); to your theme’s functions.php file; or, if you use a “site plugin” add it to that file.

Why is the key icon missing when I am logged out?

The key icon will only appear if you have set Membership to allow “Anyone can register” under Settings > General in your dashboard.
Otherwise, only the lock icon will be displayed when visiting the site and you are not logged in.

Do any themes support the Dashicons display by default?

Yes, currently Opus Primus (v1.3+ – https://github.com/Cais/opus-primus) does support this display.
Please contact your theme’s author if you need help with modifying your current theme to also have it support this option by default.
