After testing all of the AJAX plugins in the WordPress repository, I got frustrated. They're all great, but it seems that they're like 90% complete. They still need polishing. This is why I decided to create this plugin

How is this plugin different:

  • Three different templates to choose from: Modal login form, Classic login form and popup login form (jQuery UI based)
  • 24 themes to choose from (jQuery UI based)
  • Fully customizable: Just copy the template you're using from /templates/ directory in the plugin to the "ultimate_ajax_login" directory in your theme, and modify as you need to.
  • After a user is logged in, nothing shows up. I found this pretty frustrating with other plugins, there was no way to hide things.
  • If you need to show anything after a user logs in, just copy the template widget-logged-in.php to your ultimate_ajax_login folder and add whatever you need. You can call any WP function from there.
  • Has three templates, one an AJAX-based classic login form, and the other is a jQuery UI dialog box (Tested and works on mobile), and the third one is a popmodal dialog box
  • Blocks the login form whenever a user is being logged in.
  • Allows you to specify a global login redirect URL in your settings page, which applies to all of your widgets.
  • Login redirect URL can be overridden on a per-widget basis from the widget options page.

Shortcode Usage

Instead of using the widget, you can insert the shortcode inside any post. If you're a theme developer, you can use it with the do_shortcode() function. Here are the varius option

  • Using with classic template and no redirect url specified: [ultimate_ajax_login]
  • Using the dialog box template: [ultimate_ajax_login template='dialog']
  • Using the dialog box template and a jquery theme: [ultimate_ajax_login template='dialog' theme='cupertino']
