    I would like to know how to get a login/logout link on the menu list. I don’t like new/potential users having to click the register/site admin link and then clicking the login link at the bottom.

    I remember there being a wp_login() function or something like that in an older version, I tried using it with no success. Any pointers to an API page to look at or some advice is appreciated.

    That did the trick. Thank you very much.

    This worked great for the log-in and log-out, but I also use a “register” link on my menu. Is there a way to combine all three functions so that logged-in users don’t have to have the register button?

    Sorry, just haven’t gotten around to learning php.

    Thanks,

    This tag displays either the “Register” link to users that are not logged in or the “Site Admin” link if a user is logged in.

    So your buttons would say either:

    FOR NOT LOGGED IN PERSON:
    Register | Login

    OR

    FOR LOGGED IN USER:
    Site Admin | Logout

    Personally I make efforts to delete these links from my themes, for any site that isn’t collecting registrants. If you just have a few authors (or just yourself) then memorize the URL’s you need (or bookmark them) and remove the links from your public website theme to avoid reader confusion and unnecessary log-in attempts.

    The URL’s you need are simply:

    Yoursite.com/wp-login.php
Yoursite.com/wp-admin
