More nice plugin news: Customize your community

This will come as no surprise to those subscribed to my WordPress newsletter, but Sugarrae has just released the great Customize Your Community plugin we've developed together!

This plugin allows you to force the login, register and profile pages of your blog to use your blog's current theme instead of the WordPress look and feel!

  1. This plugin seems to be very interesting. However don't too many plugins slow the design.

  2. Another splendid plug-in Joost. It makes for a nice branding of Wordpress installations. I also agree with Motorbeam that too many plugins can be detrimental to a blog, but its a balance between functionality and performance and there are ways to increase the performance of Wordpress

  3. Yeah. it's really interesting..........Thanks...

  4. HELP... I'm pulling my hair out with this plug-in because I don't understand what to do. I have two sidebars in my theme and the instructions state:

    You should open up the code for the plugin and look for get_sidebar(); and add the code for your second sidebar either before or after it. It will be up to you to decide what suits you best.

    This is far too vague for my novice brain to comprehend. What plugin code? I've looked in cyc.php but get_sidebar(); isn't in there...

    I think I've managed to get the correct code in the three boxes, but it's exhibiting the behaviour described in the FAQ:

    QUESTION: I’m wondering if there is a way to customize it for layouts with 2 sidebars? I’ve tried everything I can think of, but haven’t been able to make it call both sidebars - or neither sidebar. Right now I get the login/register box fine, but sidebar one shows up under it all messed up.

    So, what do I have to do? I can't find anywhere else to go for help on this!

  5. Well I got around my previous problem by not using a left sidebar :) But now I have another one, isn't that always the way!

    When I use this plug-in, it strips out my "PixoPoint Multi-level menu" on the profile page. It works fine on the log-in and register pages. So why does it remove the code from the profile page? I have a call to is in the header.php file, but viewing the generated source of the profile page there is no mention of the menu anywhere! Any ideas?

  6. is there anyone out there that can show me sample code for the 3 boxes in the admin panel? i do not understand the direcitions that have been given. i'm sure they are simple, but they are not making sense to me. can anyone help?

  7. If I were you, I'd forget this plug-in. It's confusing badly supported and doesn't offer any flexibility. Give SimpleLogin by Jae Dub a try instead. It's superb, I'm using it now and haven't looked back.

    He responds to questions so quickly, I even discovered a couple of bugs which he fixed and emailed me new versions within a couple of hours! He also has another plug-in called "Theme My Login" which is similar to "Customize Your Community" but actually works!
