 * This plugin will do exactly what I need it to do for a custom site I am developing.
   I have it installed okay, but the shortcode to include the login form on a page
   per the instructions doesn’t work.
 * I have it on a page: [http://hereswhyyourhomedidntsell.com/password-only-login/](http://hereswhyyourhomedidntsell.com/password-only-login/)
 * Any thoughts?

 * And I should note that I just tried it on a site that is only at 3.4.1 and got
   the same results so it’s not a version issue.

 * Hi
 * This plugin does not include a shortcode. Instead you should edit the template
   file to add the PHP function. see the install page…

 * Thanks Chris.
 * I did see those instructions as well. But, you need to update the instructions
   found on the plugin page when installed. They currently read:
 * > …The custom login/logout form is added to the page using a shortcode[password_only_login].
   > Like on the standard …

 * Too bad, cuz it’d be kick butt if you could drop it in via shortcode like so 
   many other plugins these days. I am not versed enough with backend PHP stuff 
   so was not able to implement this.
 * For this project, I’ve resorted to using UPME which does drop a standard WP login
   onto a page or post with a simple shortcode string. [http://profileplugin.com/front-end-login-form/](http://profileplugin.com/front-end-login-form/)
   It works beautifully. Unfortunately, they do not have a password only login so
   I had to come up with a workaround for this particular application.
 * Thanks again for responding.

 * No probs. I will add a shortcode to the next version.
    Thanks for feedback Chris

 * That would be awesome! I searched and worked on solutions for hours over a few
   days – nothing comes close to your product (kind of surprisingly, IMO)
 * I had to make a simple “access code only” landing / access page for a direct 
   mail marketing campaign. PM/EM me and I’ll send URLs to the site if you’re curious.
