Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

How to use the Flexible Frontend Login shortcode on your site

On the widget settings page choose the Flexible Frontend Login and adjust the settings to your site.

In a post or page place [flexible-frontend-login]

By default the shortcode uses the settings set on the admin options page

You can override those default values with the following parameters and options:

  • vertical=top, bottom
  • horizontal=left, right

So your shortcode might look like this:

  • [flexible-frontend-login vertical=bottom horizontal=left]

If you want to use the centered login form with darkened overlay in the background

use [flexible-frontend-login-modal] without any parameters.

How to use the Flexible Frontend Login template tag on your site
