By default, you can add a “Meta” widget to your WordPress blog in any sidebar that will link to where you can login or log out, as well as display a link to the dashboard. What if you just wanted to skip clicking that extra link, and just login straight from a form on your blog. Well, just add the code below to wherever you would like the form to be displayed, and that’s it.
[php]
<?php if (!(current_user_can(‘level_0′))){ ?>
<h2>Login</h2>
<form action="<?php echo get_option(‘home’); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_login), 1) ?>" size="20" />
<input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="20" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="button" />
<p>
<label for="rememberme"><input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="forever" /> Remember me</label>
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" />
</p>
</form>
<a href="<?php echo get_option(‘home’); ?>/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Recover password</a>
<?php } else { ?>
<h2>Logout</h2>
<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); ?>">logout</a><br />
<a href="http://XXX/wp-admin/">admin</a>
<?php } ?>
[/php]
