Installation

The automatic plugin installer should work for most people. Manual installation is easy and takes fewer than five minutes.

Download the plugin, unpack it and upload the ‘wp-login-box‘ folder to your wp-content/plugins directory.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Go to Settings -> WPLB Options to configure the basic options.
Make sure you select your login box’s theme and setup all of the options (should take 1 minute).

If you would like to use the plugin in a shortcode/widget, read this next step:
Make sure you enabled the login box widget/shortcode options from the plugin’s options panel (can be found under the basic options tab).
To use the plugin as a shortcode, paste [wplb] somewhere in your post editor. To use the plugin as a widget, navigate to your widget editor (Under Appearance-> Widgets). The plugin’s widget is called “Login Box”. Drag the login box widget to one of your widget areas. Enter a widget title then click save. You’re done! Enjoy!

If you would like to use the plugin in a theme file, read this next step:
Paste the following code in the location you want the box to appear in (most of the times this is header.php). Then refresh the page and you’re done! Enjoy!

<?php
    if(function_exists('wplb_login')) {
        wplb_login();
    }
?>

Note
After you download this plugin, and finish setting it up you will have to paste the plugin’s function somewhere in your theme. This can be hard if you don’t have any coding knowledge. If you need help with that final step, please post a question in the plugin’s forum so that I can help you. I am not going to create a plugin, just so that it could sit there with no support. So please, if you ever need any help with this plugin, create a thread in the forums.

FAQ

How do I integrate it with my theme?

All you need to do is paste the following code anywhere in your theme. You can ask for help in the forums and I will help you:

<?php
    if(function_exists('wplb_login')) {
        wplb_login();
    }
?>

I don’t want to edit any theme files, is there any other way I can use this plugin?

Yes! You can use the plugin as a shortcode or as a widget. Install the plugin and enable the widget or shortcode from the plugin options panel 🙂

Registartions are not working, what do I do?

If registrations don’t work, make sure you enabled them in your wordpress general settings. Go to yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php and check the box that says “anyone can register”.

Thank You!

Being very new to developing in wordpress it was difficult trying to make my own inline login form into the menu bar. It worked perfectly where I wanted it to which rarely works out with most plugins. Very underestimated! I do have one question: How can I hook it to my styles.php using CSS?

Example style in style.css:

.top-login
{
margin-left:350px;
padding: 0px;

}
.top-login p {
margin-bottom: 15px;
color: #e00000;
}
input {
 display:inline;
}

All I’m looking to know here is what would I replace the .top-login with to hook it with my login form? What would I call the form in this area.
