Hello there,
so I saw some of the questions here about how to put login/ register links in top bar but unfortunately the provided solutions are weak.
you see in any site we see Login and Register link and when we login we see logout link with access to user profile
how to achieve that?

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in!

To have a Register and Login link in your topbar, we must first create a shortcode that will easily handle this function. If you already have your child theme active and ready, please insert this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

// Custom login/logout/register shortcode
// =============================================================================
function custom_loginlogout($atts){
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
    'separator'          => ''
  ), $atts, 'loginlogout' ) );

  $content = wp_loginout(null, false) . ' <span class="sep">' . $separator . '</span> ';

  if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    $content .= wp_register('', '', false);
  } else{
    $content .= wp_register('', '', false);
  }

  return $content;
}
add_shortcode('loginlogout', 'custom_loginlogout' );
// =============================================================================

After adding the code above, you need to edit your topbar content, Appearance > Customize > Header > Miscellaneous > Topbar Content and insert our new shortcode:

[loginlogout separator="|"]

And by default, the topbar content doesn’t display any shortcode. You also need to add this code in your child theme’s functions.php file so that our shortcode will be displayed.

// Allow shortcodes in the topbar content
// =============================================================================
function allow_custom_shortcodes($contents) {
  $contents = do_shortcode($contents);
  return $contents;
}
add_filter('x_option_x_topbar_content', 'allow_custom_shortcodes');
// =============================================================================

Please note that the register link will only appear if you allow registrations in Settings > General.

We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.

Hi

Please change the code that pertains to Custom login/logout/register shortcode with this.

// Custom login/logout/register shortcode
// =============================================================================
function custom_loginlogout($atts){
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
    'separator'          => ''
  ), $atts, 'loginlogout' ) );

  $content = wp_loginout(null, false) . ' <span class="sep">' . $separator . '</span> ';

  if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
        if ( function_exists( 'bp_loggedin_user_domain' ) ) :
            global $current_user;
            $content .= '<a href="'.home_url() . '/الأعضاء/' . $current_user->user_login . '/profile/">My Profile</a>';
        else:
           $content .= wp_register('', '', false);
        endif;
  } else{                          
    $content .= wp_register('', '', false);
  }

  return $content;
}
add_shortcode('loginlogout', 'custom_loginlogout' );
// =============================================================================

Hope that helps.

Hi there,

Please replace this line of code,

$content .= '<a href="'.home_url() . '/الأعضاء/' . $current_user->user_login . '/profile/">My Profile</a>';

with this one,

$content .= '<a href="'.bp_loggedin_user_domain().'">My Profile</a>';

Hope this helps.
