    Hi there – This is a great plugin, thanks. The only – and significant – problem though is that, when activated, the plugin is preventing certain dashboard and posting functionality from showing up. For example, I activated it on two sites running WP 2.2x, after which I could no longer see the “View site” link on the top left of the dashboard and, more importantly, I could see any of the WYSIWIG icons or code shortcuts in the write post interface. Any idea how these could be fixed please, as otherwise this is a cool and really useful plugin. Cheers, Richard.

    Sorry, I meant to say I could “not” see any of the WYSIWIG icons or code shortcuts in the write post interface… . Thanks.

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks for pointing out that error. Unfortunetely I don’t have a solution yet. I did notice that if you deactivate the plugin, bring up the write page and then re-activate the plugin it works – but only for that session.

    It seems like the css for the WYSIWIG is getting confused a little bit. I will continue to look into this and post a solution when I find one.

    If anyone else has an idea I would welcome any feedback.

    I tried out your branding plugin and it works for me sort of. however, when i click log out i get some errors.

    I suppose there might be a conflict with another plugin. I can send you a list or screen shot of the plugins i am using.

    I also tried to use your contact form and you are having issues with the verify image.

    Shoot me an email

    Love your plug-in. Thanks so much. Was working on this and just decided to do a quick google and found you.

    THanks. This is exactly what I need for clients. I use WP for a basic Content Management system – it is so much easier for a client to learn than larger CMS.

    This is great.

    Thanks again.!

    Hopefully the update should eliminate the errors some of you have been getting. There was some whitespace at the end of the code which was causing some havoc with the headers.

    Let me know if there are additional issues.

    Thanks so much for the plugin. I’ve always wanted to develop one for this purpose but fortunately, I have found it already done.

    Thanks for the update as it was causing an error which I wanted to point out but now it is fine.

    Hello,

    thank you for this great plugin, but I have this problem:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /mounted-storage/home50b/sub009/sc34411-EILL/czechbracelet.info/wp-content/plugins/custom_branding/custom_branding.php:56) in /mounted-storage/home50b/sub009/sc34411-EILL/czechbracelet.info/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 391

    Can you help me?

    Thank you for reply.

    Kind regards,

    I installed the plugin and played with the CSS. loads my image and I can login but I can’t find where new users should register. I no longer have a register button.

    getting confused with the source of the css for both the login and register pages when I am using this plugin along with register-plus. I am able to manipulate the size and position of the background but cant seem to affect change on the text or input fields. Where is the form built?
