Are you using WordPress as a cms or as a community site? If yes, it can be a cool idea to display a login form in your blog sidebar or on a specific page. Here’s a simple code to do it.
Nothing hard at all. Simply paste the following code where you’d like to display your login form. (For example, on your blog sidebar, or on a page template)
<<?php if (!(current_user_can('level_0'))){ ?> <h2>Login</h2> <form action="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_login), 1) ?>" size="20" /> <input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="20" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="button" /> <p> <label for="rememberme"><input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="forever" /> Remember me</label> <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" /> </p> </form> <a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Recover password</a> <?php } else { ?> <h2>Logout</h2> <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); ?>">logout</a><br /> <a href="http://XXX/wp-admin/">admin</a> <?php }?>
Once saved, your theme will display a login form. Definitely easier and quicker for login!
