Description
A simple plugin providing a link to the dashboard; and, a method to log in and out of your blog in the footer of the theme. This is ideal for those not wanting to use the meta widget/code links.
Now with an added toggle to support a minimalist approach using Dashicons.
See the FAQ for more details …

- How can I get support for this plugin?
-
Please note, support may be available on the WordPress Support forums; but, it may be faster to visit http://buynowshop.com/plugins/bns-login/ and leave a comment with the issue you are experiencing.
- Is it really that simple?
-
Yes, it really is.
- Can the plugin be styled?
-
Yes, the plugin text is wrapped in its own
<div id="bns-logged-in" class="bns-login">
or<div id="bns-logged-out" class="bns-login">
depending on the login status of the user.Copy the contents of the included
bns-login-style.css
file (which contains a sampling of the CSS elements generated by the plugin) and paste them into a new stylesheetbns-login-custom-style.css
under../wp-content/bns-customs/
(you may need to create this folder).
This file should not get over-written with future updates so your specific CSS will remain. - Can I use the `bns_login` shortcode in a Text widget?
-
Yes you can! Actually this plugin makes it possible to use any properly written shortcode to be used in a Text widget.
- How do I change to the Dashicons display?
-
All you need to do is add the following
add_filter( 'bns_login_dashed_set', '__return_true' );
to your theme’sfunctions.php
file; or, if you use a “site plugin” add it to that file. - Why is the key icon missing when I am logged out?
-
The key icon will only appear if you have set Membership to allow “Anyone can register” under Settings > General in your dashboard.
Otherwise, only the lock icon will be displayed when visiting the site and you are not logged in. - Do any themes support the Dashicons display by default?
-
Yes, currently Opus Primus (v1.3+ – https://github.com/Cais/opus-primus) does support this display.
Please contact your theme’s author if you need help with modifying your current theme to also have it support this option by default.
