Sidebar-Login adds a useful login widget which you can use to login from in the sidebar of your WordPress powered blog.
Once a user logs in it then redirects them back to the page they logged in from rather than the admin panel (this is configurable).
If you'd like to contribute code to the plugin you can do so via GitHub: https://github.com/mikejolley/sidebar-login.
If you'd like to contribute a localisation, the project is hosted on Transifex: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/sidebar-login/
Usage
Simply go to Appearance > Widgets and drag "sidebar login" to the sidebar of your choice. Within the widget are several options you can use for changing the titles or the links displayed to the user.
To use this widget in a template, use the the_widget() function which WordPress provides.
Tags for titles + links
These tags can be used in the widget settings for titles + links and will be replaced at runtime.

Notes
- Due to AJAX not working across different domains (see same_origin_policy), AJAX logins will be disabled if your site it non-SSL, but the FORCE_SSL_LOGIN constant is set to true. Instead it will fallback to a traditional POST.
