## Description

Front page login/logout and control panel.

## Installation

 Activate the plugin Add the 
User Login widget to your sidebar If your site doesn’t support widgets simply add`
<?php the_widget('wpul_widget');?>` to your sidebar

## FAQ

  What does this plugin do, exactly?

It builds a login form and control panel in the sidebar of your page.

  Can I edit the CSS for the form and control panel?

Yes, as of v5.0 a stylesheet editor has been included. If you don’t like that stylesheet,
or you have your own already, you also have the option to use your own stylesheet.

  The last version didn’t support OpenID. What happened?

Most were telling me they weren’t using it or that it was dead. And from what I 
had seen, it seemed to be true. However, one user requested it again as that was
the reason she chose my plugin. So I obliged.

  Does this work with EVERY OpenID plugin?

No, this plugin only works with the plugin named [OpenID](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openid/)
