    Hi!

    I’m using the default BuddyPress login widget in the right sidebar on the homepage for login. My problem is that I need this space for other purposes and am considering moving the login form to the header. My header is currently empty besides the site logo for users that aren’t logged in.

    Perhaps this should even be a feature of the Boss theme? Facebook uses this approach and that makes it rather intuitive to a lot of users.

    Thanks!

    @angslycke you need to display the admin bar for logged out users. Try adding this to functions.php:
    show_admin_bar( true );

    @tjchester Do you mean to show the login button like you do in the demo? I prefer to use a regular form on the fron-end instead of the wp-login.php-approach, makes it more intuitive for non-technical users I think.

    I’m looking for something like how the WordPress.org forums implement the login field. See this page:

    @angslycke this would be custom development but here is the codex for your reference: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_login_form

    Thanks for the link! Will give this some time after I’ve adjusted all minor fixes I need after installing the Boss theme. Shouldn’t be to hard, right? 🙂
