    when ever i login using using this plugin from the front end, it says “howdy ‘username'” and the edit symbol appears in the page, but when you click on it, it takes you to wp-admin login at the backend. but if you click back, then the edit button disappears (you are logged out). this seems to be a bug maybe? Cant see any settting that would effect it.

    Actually when loggin in user from the front end the admin panel authentication cookie is not set. So the user is logged in to the front end only.

    To resolve this problem please open the file login_afo_widget.php and go to line no 170

    if($user->ID == ""){
	$_SESSION['msg_class'] = 'error_wid_login';
	$_SESSION['msg'] = __('Error in login!','lwa');
} else{
	wp_redirect( $_POST['redirect'] );
	exit;
}

    you will see a code blobk like this. change this to 

    if($user->ID == ""){
	$_SESSION['msg_class'] = 'error_wid_login';
	$_SESSION['msg'] = __('Error in login!','lwa');
} else{
	wp_set_auth_cookie($user->ID);
	wp_redirect( $_POST['redirect'] );
	exit;
}

    The problem will be resiolved. I will fix this in the next update of the plugin.
