So, I installed the Simple Facebook Connect plugin for a client, but I found that its login widget was lacking.

I prefer to use the login with ajax plugin, as it has error reporting and lost pwd functions all from the front page. There is nothing more irritating to me than having users redirected to the login.php page simply because of a miss-typed pwd. In a multi-site environment being redirected to the login page of the top level blog, totally breaks the feel of the sub-blog.

So, I have edited the login with ajax plugin to also use the simple facebook connect ‘connect with facebook’ button. This is an improvment on the SFC widget, as it has on page error reporting ( wrong pwd, etc ), and doesnt need to reload the page on login.

   Hey dude,

   I’m glad to see someone with more expertise than me is having this problem, but since both SFC and Login with Ajax have been updated since you posted this fix, I’m wondering if this fix is still working…

   And how exactly do I go about installing it? While I have some coding experience, I have no real WordPress Admin expertise and the only way I know how to install plugins is through the dashboard interface.

   I thought about trying to find the modifications you made and just making them myself (I’ve already had to tweak loginwithajax to fix other problems” but I can’t find the facebook code…perhaps I’m looking for the wrong thing.

   Thanks man.
