 * Hey there.
 * I installed the plugin as instructed. I:
 * a) filled out login handle as: login-link
    b) created a new page and inserted[
   ajax_login] into the page. c) created a menu item 1) linking to that page 2) 
   gave the class .login-link and 3) linked it to that page (also tried #)
 * When i click the link, it just sends me to that page (no modal/lightbox window).
   as well, it wont let me login or check membership.
 * Suggestions?

 * Hi Geohi,
 * You don’t need to use both at the same time, i.e., the shorcode and modal. You
   can just use either or.
 * In your case you’ll want to change “login-link” to “.login-link”, note the “.”
   is needed.

 * Thanks, Zane. Actually i had it as .login-link. I think the problem was that 
   your ajax was conflicting with some other ajax plugins i have and just sending
   it directly to the page instead of opening it in the window.
 * Ill try your suggestion nonetheless. (i.e., ill remove the shortcode).
 * so, what im understanding you’re saying is thi: i dont need to create a page 
   with the shortcode in it – all i do is have a link with the class .login-link
 * is that correct?

 * Geohl,
 * Yes you are correct. You don’t need to create a page if you set up a dialog login/
   registration interaction. The plugin was made flexible enough to aid users who
   wanted the dialog and users who preferred the page/post login/registration option.
 * Also, you can use a different login and/or registration handle.
 * I just answered a [**similar question** ](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-shortcode-two-times-problem?replies=2#post-5934441)
   and think it would be useful if you used a different login/register handle in
   case there is conflict with another AJAX plugin and you happen to use the same
   values.

 * Diana,
 * thanks for the reply.
 * I did what you and Zane had suggested and im still coming to the same problem.
 * I made the class something else (.login-class ((just for testing)) and added #
   to the HREF. WHen i click the link it doesnt do anything (just adds # to the 
   URL).

 * also, it appears the other AJAX scripts are not working properly with this plugin
   enabled.

 * I just tried using the following and it worked:
 * Login Handle: .login-class
 * Created a custom menu:
    url: # Navigation menu: Login CSS Class: login-class
 * Also enabled registration
 * What other plugins that use AJAX do you have enabled? It may have something to
   do with other plugins that use AJAX which you may already have installed. We’d
   like to know to check compatibility.
 * Thanks,
    Diana

 * Yep – those are the exact steps i followed.
 * I have many, many plugins installed and quite a few use AJAX – at this point 
   there’s no way I could viably disable them one by one to test which it is.
 * Bummer :-/

 * Hi Geohi,
 * Bummer that there’s a conflict, would you be able to let us know which plugin
   might cause the conflict? That way we can install it, and make sure ALR is compatible
   with it.
