== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How can I get support for this plugin? =
Please note, support may be available on the WordPress Support forums; but, it may be faster to visit http://buynowshop.com/plugins/bns-login/ and leave a comment with the issue you are experiencing.
= Is it really that simple? =
Yes, it really is.
= Can the plugin be styled? =
Yes, the plugin text is wrapped in its own `
` or `
` depending on the login status of the user.
Copy the contents of the included `bns-login-style.css` file (which contains a framework of the CSS elements generated by the plugin); and paste them into a new stylesheet `bns-login-custom-style.css`. This file should not get over-written with future updates so your specific CSS will remain.
= Can I use the `bns_login` shortcode in a Text widget? =
Yes you can! Actually this plugin makes it possible to use any properly written shortcode to be used in a Text widget.
== Screenshots ==
1. Logged in text.
2. Logged out text.
