Siris Login Widget for WordPress

Recently I was working on a project where I needed to show different menu’s on the sidebar based on the role with which the user was logging in.

As usual I went our trusted source WordPress.org to see if there were any plugins that would solve my needs with ease. Nope.

I then started search in Google for commercial login plugins that would allow me to show a login widget and when the user logs in, display a custom menu based on their role. Again Nope.

Enter Siris Login Widget.

My goal for creating this plugin was very simple. Display a simple Login widget on the sidebar. Once the user logs in, display a Customized Menu.
