If you need "login-logout" link you can use this code without the plugin:

<?php wp_loginout( get_permalink() ); ?>

If you need "register-admin" link you can use this code without the plugin:

<?php wp_register('', ''); ?>

    When a new user clicks on register it opens into a screen asking for user name and email address but no option for adding a password. How can i make it ask a new user to add a password to their account?

    Can you please fix the initalization of $redirect_to_self so that the plugin can be used for a wordpress site that is only accessible via https. Currently there is 'http://' hard coded.

    You could use the variable $_SERVER['HTTPS'] which is set to 'on' if https is used for access.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sven.

        Wow, that was fast! I did not expect such a fast change.

        I upgraded today and found it working.

        Thank you very much!

    Hi there,
    Using your plugin on my site and it works great - thank you! As a suggestion, I have changed line 69 in login-logout.php from

    $username_link = ''.$username.'';

    to

    $username_link = apply_filters( 'login_logout_username_link', ''.$username.'', $current_user );

    Would you consider including that in the next version? I am using the filter to change the username link to display first name instead of login and to change the link to a different front end user profile page. Obviously I'd love it if you included the filter so I don't have to amend the file again when you update...

    Thanks
    Jon

    Unsophisticated coder here. What would I need to alter to remove the bullets before each link? I like the inline appearance without it, but would like to retain a vertical presence. Thanks in advance!

    When a new customer/user logs in they are directed to the account page rather than the home page even though we have inserted this code http://lzr7store.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://www.lzr7store.com
    as a redirect. Instead it directs to: https://lzr7store.com/my-account/
    I can't even figure out how this happens. HELP. I need to send all my clients users their logins and don't what them going to an account page rather than the home/product page.
    Thanks!

      This redirect could be made by some other plugin.
      Check out all your plugin and try to find the plugin which could be responsible for this redirect.

      Activate Login-logout plugin and add Login-logout widget to sidebar. You may check out how it looks on screenshot page.
      You can enable registration here: "site.com/wp-admin/options-general.php" option called "Anyone can register".
      Login page you can find here: "site.com/wp-login.php".

          You should visit this link "site.com/wp-admin/options-general.php" and enable option "Anyone can register". "site.com" you should change with your own site.

    Hi I'm just wondering is there a way to have the login link directed to a front end login page that I have instead of the backend wp-login.php? Thanks.

      You may update your version of the plugin for your needs. Edit login-logout.php file. Also change version of the plugin to "100" for avoiding plugin updates and preventing losing your code.

    Hi!

    Is there a way to make the Login-logout appear in the header? Maybe perhaps a php shortcode for it to appear?

    Would appreciate your help.

    Thanks!

      Sorry, but this is not possible to do with Login-Logout plugin now.
      If you want, you may extend it and I will include this into next versions of plugin.

    Hey there,
    Great plugin, How would I redirect the username link (welcome mike)to the site profile instead of the wp dashborad? Dont want users to have access of the dashboard period.

    Thanks

      There is no such possibility now. You may change it manually. Check file login-logout.php line-72. Also increase plugin version to 100 for example for avoiding plugin updates and your code losing.

            I lost all content when I use that. Do i keep the code and just change admin_url part or change everything in the link section?
