    BAW Login/Logout menu

    I found that it is quite a GOOD plugin but lacks simple documentation, it is assumed that user will be able to do it. Yes this way it has learning value, but could be made still better by those who have used it successfully.

    1. After activation it will add a link Login
    2. After logout it will default to same page you are unless you add redirect to some where (IO am still working on that Short-code to help here)

    Setup:
    3. under Users menu in dashboard
    I wrote some text for Global Blocked message:
    Rest I left to the defaults.

    4. Under Appearance => Menus : you will see Newly added Login/Logout links v1.3.3
    I selected 3rd Login|Logout and click Add to Menu

    5. Under Menu Structure[Right PANEL] it adds Login | Logout with Custom Accordian BAR type menu.
    click open it on the arrow down v button
    URL
    #bawloginout# [is default you will see]
    I added pdf-contents
    so that it is now #bawloginout#pdf-contents
    pdf-content is permalink for a PAGE that I have created and it has logic to retrieve pdf files for registered subscribers.
    So once subscriber logs-in he will be redirected to pdf-contents page

    If you create a page it comes to menu if you have selected in menu settings just below in the same Menu page, where you are customizing.
    So disselect it.
    Menu Settings
    Auto add pages [] Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu

    =====> Don’t forget to Save Menu <==========

    Now after login user will be able to see you pdf-contents file.

    Just to add a bit more so that you can do it easily
    pdf content page is actually a page-pdf-contents.php inside my child theme page. Adding page- to “pdf-contents” makes it Custom Template page that will be accessible by parmalink say like below
    https://localhost/wordpress/pdf-contents/

    for Customizing WordPress #4 – Creating Page Templates

    I am working on adding logout redirection, Will add it here once finished. May be some one could do that. Documentation has some hint but I have to try it.

    Currently link address to logout shows to
    https://localhost/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=pdf-contents&_wpnonce=9a4ca03a09

    The logout redirection works!!!

    Just add one pipe| and index.php like below

    It was #bawloginout#pdf-contents|index.php

    The first one(pdf-contents) is redirection when one is logged in
    and index.php is when one is logged out.

    The author has written it but it was for some foolish reason not clear to me.

    I am working on to add My-Account Menu for a logged in member and login should disappear after login and replaced by dropdown as My Account. And sub menu(I want to have PDF-Content sub-menu)

    I feel I have to add filter to add menu and by CSS display none to login, will let others my solution.

    There is a problem with plugin:
    that you can not revisit the login redirection page again after visiting other links of the menu, you have to add this feature yourself. Or I am unaware that it works…

    Well, I tried this and
    1. Pop up Do you really want to logout? I see the redirected permalink
    2. Click on and I get a wordpress error. It does me log out but no redirect I have tried everything.

    Any help please
