 * When logged out, there’s a “Log In” and a “Register” link. The first shows a 
   login form in a popup, the second does nothing – but the “Create an account” 
   within the Login form does produce the Register” form (and works – I tested creating
   a new user).
 * I haven’t looked at the code yet, but this should be an easy fix.

 * Looking through the code, I already found the problem, I think:
 * In the file plugin.php, function simple_ajax_auth_register_link() is missing 
   a closing `<a/>` tag; it should be (line 160 etc.):
 *     ```
       function simple_ajax_auth_register_link( $before = '', $after = '' ) {
               $setup = get_option('simpleajaxauth');
               return ( ! is_user_logged_in() && get_option( 'users_can_register' )) ? ( $before . '<a id="show_register">' . ( isEmpty($setup['register_text']) ? 'Register' : $setup['login_text'] ) . '<a/>' . $after ) : '';
       }
       ```
   
 * **Untested**, but I think the missing end tag is preventing jQuery from recognizing
   the link.

 * That was not a complete solution… The link inside the login form has id **pop_signup**,
   while the link on the widget has id **show_register**. The jQuery looks for respectively(#
   pop_login, #pop_signup) and (#show_login, #show_signup).
 * So, if we change the id in the function that generates the link to **show_signup**,
   it starts working:
 *     ```
       function simple_ajax_auth_register_link( $before = '', $after = '' ) {
               $setup = get_option('simpleajaxauth');
               return ( ! is_user_logged_in() && get_option( 'users_can_register' )) ? ( $before . '<a id="show_signup">' . ( isEmpty($setup['register_text']) ? 'Register' : $setup['login_text'] ) . '<a/>' . $after ) : '';
       }
       ```
   
 * That’s more consistent, too.
 * You can mark this as resolved. 🙂
