hi, I searched in the forum and I know now the login form is not a widget, so I’m in trouble because I tried to put it in a div-widget in the header but the widget appear and not the login.
How can I put the login not in the sidebar but in the header, please, can you tell me?
I hope in your help, thank you!

P.S. maybe the right forum was creating and extending? if yes, I’m sorry! but the only thread near to my needs was here,
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-remove-login-sidebar-from-bp-12-default-theme/
so i posted in the same forum…

There shouldn’t be a problem having the login-form inside a widget ( side-bar ) as that’s how it is in the bp sidebar ( sidebar.php in bp-default theme ).

Regardless of the above, copy the form code from sidebar.php and insert it anywhere you like ( header, footer.. ), you can contain the form in a div, styling it to suit your needs.
Take note that if you are not using a child theme, your changes will be over-written when you upgrade buddypress. ( https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ )

This should be the login/log out form used in the bp-default theme: http://pastebin.com/gngAD97g

I am using a dropdown panel BuddyPress Sliding Login Panel plugin that is very nice to have works great after member logs in with all buddypress menu for members.
