I want to place a login/register form in header which drops the profile on hover as in codex.bbpress.org
I used
<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
<?php wp_head();
global $user_identity;
?>
<p><b>Howdy</b>, <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. [<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>" title="Log out of this account">Log Out</a>]</p>
<?php else : ?>
<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">
Username <input value="Username" class="input" type="text" size="20" tabindex="10" name="log" id="user_login" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Username') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Username';}" /> <input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" value="forever" tabindex="90" type="checkbox"> Remember Me? <br />
Password <input value="Password" class="input" type="password" size="20" tabindex="20" name="pwd" id="user_pass" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Password') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Password';}" />
<input name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit" value="Log In" tabindex="100" type="submit">
<input name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/" type="hidden">
<input name="testcookie" value="1" type="hidden">
</form>
<?php endif; ?>
…but on log out the username and password boxes stretchesd fullwith.
Please help.
Thanks
You could use the regular WordPress toolbar, that is exactly what bbpress.org uses.
Anything custom you have to do it yourself, or hire a developer. Only thing I can say is you probably need CSS to style the drop down profile form.
