Going in Circles for a Log In Widget…
-
Why is this so hard? I’m just trying to add a simple log in widget to my wordpress.com blog, I don’t want the easily available “meta” widget, I just want a very simple log in box. Does that exist on WP?
also, if I am using the free wordpress.com site for my blog, do I need to update it, or is that done automatically by wordpress.
thanksinadvance
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Your log-in page is below – make a log-in link and put it in a Text Widget
easiest – go to a Post – in visual editor – Log-in for the text – turn it into a link with the code below – switch to text edit mode – copy all the html code and paste it into a Text Widget – that should do it – don’t think it will have the fancy stuff with the toggle between log-in & log-out

wow auxclass, thank you, but you lost me.
I know what the link to my log in is, but the rest of what you said was a bit confusing. Is there no widget that I can simply drag and drop? I find it hard to believe that WP offers me all those D&D widgets, but not a nice little log in box (and I’m not talking about the ‘meta’ widget).
I want a simple log in box at the in my third footer position.
does that not exist? -
Ok – will take a couple of minutes to wait for the spam filter to let me post again –

okay auxclass, I got it now, thanks for making it clear for me.
It’s just a basic link, and not exactly what I was looking for, but it does the job for now. what I really would like is something like the WP log in box (I was planning on posting a pic here to show you what I mean, it is worth 1000 words after all, but apparently this forum doesn’t support images). oh well.
thanks again for all your help :) (no emoji here either, sigh)

You can upload a picture to a picture hosting site – or just upload it to your media library and post a link here to the picture
You can also title the Text Widget to maybe “jazz” the looks up a bit – or the log-in could also be a click on picture
You be welcome & good luck with your blog –
the text widget might be able to be boxed but I am not sure about that and probably above my skills
