 * I don’t use Theme-My-Login, but I’ve been using this plugin nearly since it was
   first released (and later with the premium addon) and have had no problems with
   it whatsoever. Have you already gone through all of the author’s FAQs?

 * I’m having a bit of trouble getting this to work. What I have is a main page,
   in a directory above the wordpress installation, that uses RSS feeds to pull 
   information in from various parts of my site. However, because all of the site’s
   login information (Gallery2, SMF) is handled by wordpress (via bridge plugins)
   I’d like to provide a login form on this main page, and pass that information
   to wordpress. I’d also like to be able to access various information from my 
   wordpress plugins (i.e. users online, etc).
 * The problem is that even when I include wp-blog-header I can’t seem to access
   information on the currently logged in user. For example, the following code 
   never returns anything, even when a user is logged in:
 * <?php
    require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); global $userdata; get_currentuserinfo();
   echo(‘Username: ‘ . $userdata->user_login . “\n”); ?>
 * Interestingly enough, I AM able to get information on the current number of online
   users (WP-UserOnline plugin) IF I also call get_header(); However, I obviously
   don’t want to call get_header() because that brings in a bunch of stuff from 
   my wordpress theme which I don’t want included on the mainpage. If I don’t call
   get_header(), then wp-useronline always returns 0 users.
 * Any ideas??
 * Thanks!
