Overview
Sidebar Login is a robust WordPress plugin designed to streamline the user authentication process by integrating a versatile login widget directly into your blog's sidebar. This plugin enhances the user experience by allowing users to log in and be redirected back to the same page, configurable to user preference, instead of the default admin panel. Customizable through Appearance > Widgets, Sidebar Login provides multiple configuration options, including defining titles, links, and user-specific tags such as %username% and %avatar%, which dynamically adjust based on the logged-in user. Advanced users can tweak the plugin further using a variety of filters and actions to control widget functionality and appearance. AJAX logins are supported, although restricted to same-origin policy constraints, ensuring efficient and secure user authentication workflows. For those interested in contributing, the plugin's code and translation projects are hosted on GitHub and WordPress.org respectively.

Easy to implement. Some minor custom css work done and voila great result. I like that the widget does not log something. It seems fully GDPR compliant. Great Job! BR Peter

Great job! Love it when it only takes me a couple of minutes to setup and test a new plugin. Documentation is clear and simple to understand. Hooks Yeah! Will be hooking my plugin’s CAPTCHA feature into your plugin. Awesome work!

I really need this to use a reCaptcha, to filter out robots.
I love this sidebar login, it’s so easy to use.
