My site: http://bit.ly/PftvtS

I am using this Sidebar Login plugin on my WordPress site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sidebar-login/

The login button becomes dead when a user is viewing the forums.

Any ideas?

perhaps the login plugin form is conflicting with the simple press inline login form… you cannot have mulitple forms called the same thing… so perhaps try disabling the inline login form of simple press…

in your sp theme template file spHead.php, remove or comment out this line:

sp_LoginForm($loginForm);

of course, you should be using your own theme and not editing one of ours to keep from losing changes on updates..

I commented out the login form but it didnt fix anything. I have a feeling there is a conflict with the ajax in the plugin and the ajax used with simplepress.

It wont be an ajax conflict as that doesnt really make sense… but it could be jquery/js… worth checking: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/troubleshooting/what-is-this-jquery-conflict/

and see if that applies… if you can leave I link, we can try to take a look too when we get a chance (replying from email)…

Ok well that jquery issue was way to big of a problem. So I just disabled the fancy dropdown effect of the plugin and kept the login area open all the time.

Problem solved! lolkiss
