Are you looking for a way to add a login / logout link in the navigation menu? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to add a login link to the wp_nav_menu in WordPress.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_login_logout_link', 10, 2);
function add_login_logout_link($items, $args) {
$loginoutlink = wp_loginout('index.php', false);
$items .= '<li>'. $loginoutlink .'</li>';
return $items;
}
