Hi,
I have problems with the Plugins. After I install, I still did not see the login. I can’t find the login in the footer…
@Emily – Hello!
Can you tell me which theme you are using? To the best of my testing the only reason the BNS Login plugin would not work correctly is if the wp_footer() function is not present in your theme.
It has the footer. If not is there other ways? I dun want to use meta, it is wasting my side bar
@Emily – The plugin was made for that reason, so people could choose not to use the “meta” block of links.
I visited your blog, too; and, if you look in the bottom left-hand corner you will see the “Log in here!” link. The plugin appears to be installed and working correctly.
Thanks a lot… I saw it… Finally… At a location I like…
@Emily – That’s Great! I’m glad you like it, too.
