I’m using a plugin called sidebar-login to display a wordpress login form (it uses wp_login_form) in my sidebar. However, I feel like it the actual form (textboxes and labels) take up too much space and I’d like to hide it all in a slide-down jQuery div.
Basically, the user would click on a link called "Login", which would make the login form fade in and slide down for the user to use. The problem is I need to add that link and wrap up the whole form in a div that I can apply a jQuery rule to.
What is the recommended way of doing this so I don’t break any existing login procedures?
Try using SimpleModal Login. This should be exactly what you are looking for.
