    This plugin is well worth it!

    My sincere thanks to the developer!

    Weighing up the pros and cons (see below) compared to several other available plugins, this one worked best with my free Basic theme and LearnDash 3.0 LMS plugin.

    Pro’s:
    1) The plugin’s settings is neatly tucked away down the bottom of the wordpress dashboard menu.
    2) It has adequate instructions for setting it up. See my example below using the popup trigger with my own login button.
    3) Very customisable with colours, pop-up window height and width. Rremove the pop-up window’s sidebar by setting its width to 0.

    This is what I love about it–> can use your own custom login button with the plugin’s trigger popup class: insert your own button into your page and embed the following code inside the image’s html class value: xoo-el-login-tgr.
    E.g.

    Cons (2):
    1) (possibly only affecting my site) Entering an incorrect username or password sends the user to the site’s search page with a message “Oops, page not found”. I can live with that for now.

    2) (see workaround below) This plugin’s ‘register new user’ form seems to display at least one password input box, regardless of whether I toggle all the password box switches to ‘off’ in the settings.

    I prefer new users to set their password separately from a link in a confirmation email, in order to force new users to enter a real email address.

    Luckily, the plugin allows the ‘register new user’ tab to be disabled, leaving only the login tab (with ‘forgot password’ link at the bottom).

    For a separate customisable registration form (albeit, non popup form), I use the free plugin LoginPress, which allows you to customise the look of wordpress’s ugly default register form. You can use your own link, own button, or menu item to send the user to the registration page.

    Hello

    Thank you for your detailed review.
    I would like to answer the first point.

    1) (possibly only affecting my site) Entering an incorrect username or password sends the user to the site’s search page with a message “Oops, page not found”. I can live with that for now.

    This happens because something else on your site is controlling the login functionality, otherwise it is full ajax & there shall be no redirects.
    You can verify by deactivating other plugins/ switching themes.

    2) Regarding required password field. We are working on it & the next update will allow you to disable it.
