WordPress Plugin: Sidebar Login
Sidebar login is an open source plugin which has both the widget and a template tag and it allows you to add login form in your sidebar for your wordpress users
It lets users login, and then redirects them back to the page they logged in from rather than the backend, it also shows error messages.
First time installation instructions
- Unzip and upload the php file to your wordpress plugin directory
- Activate the plugin

- To use the template tag: Add <?php sidebarlogin(); ?> to your template.

Hey mate,
Thanks for that.
However, I have an issue, I have just installed the plugin and the installation happened fine.
I don’t know how to hide certain pages when a user is not logged in.
What changes do you have to make for the user to ONLY see the pages once they are logged in and hide the data once they are not logged in.
Can you please assist?
Thanks.
