User Info Login Shortcode

I needed a way to display login form on the front page of a WPMU network if a person wasn’t already logged in, and a bit of info about the user, a list of their sites, a link to create a new one, and a link to logout. I could have done it by hacking the theme’s templates, but that locks you into a specific theme. With the shortcode, any theme can display this, on any page (or post, but why would you do that? whatever. it’s your site…)
Screenshots & previews.
This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

- 02Unzip the userinfologinshortcode.zip file into the wordpress plugins directory: ‘wp-content/plugins/’
- 03Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- 04Include the [user_info_login] shortcode in any page you wish to include the blog_members display. It may make the most sense to do this on the front page of the site.
Frequently asked questions.
How do I use the plugin?
When you write or edit the content of a page, simply include [user_info_login] (along with the brackets) whenever you want the info/login to be displayed. Make sure you activate the plugin before you use the shortcode.
Why is the Info/Login stuff not displayed, even though I included the shorttag ?
The plugin probably has not yet been activated.
