Hi,

there was a thread in march 2009 on adding login/logout to the menu bar . I cannot find the correct location to add this to bfa_header_config.php in the current iteration as of 1/10/11. Can you help? Thanks

1) what was the thread and
2) what is your 'the current iteration as of 1/10/11' ?

this was the thread
http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...add+login+menu

atahualpa 3.6

looking to add login to menu bar

in 3.6.1 edit bfa_header_config.php and change lines 65-69 from

			// Close table if centered
			if ( strpos($header_items,"%page-center") !== FALSE ) 
				echo '</ul></td></tr></table></div>' . "\n";
			else 
				echo '</ul></div>' . "\n";

to

			// Close table if centered
			if ( strpos($header_items,"%page-center") !== FALSE )  {
				echo  "\n<li>";
				echo  wp_loginout();
				echo  '</li></ul></td></tr></table></div>' . "\n";
			} else {
				echo "\n<li>";
				echo wp_loginout();
				echo '</li></ul></div>' . "\n";

tried the suggestion and end up with a parse error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/artiq99/public_html/optionspowerhouse.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/functions/bfa_header_config.php on line 140

any ideas thanks

Hi Pshill,

Did you get this to work? There was a missing "}" for the last else statement. That could be the issue.

Pshill - sorry, this dropped off the rada

It was missing a closing '}' - use this instead, I also added the class so it will get styled
In 3.6.4 replace lines 65-69

			// Close table if centered
			if ( strpos($header_items,"%page-center") !== FALSE ) 
				echo '</ul></td></tr></table></div>' . "\n";
			else 
				echo '</ul></div>' . "\n";

with

	// Close table if centered
			if ( strpos($header_items,"%page-center") !== FALSE )  {
				echo  '<li class="page_item">';
				echo  wp_loginout();
				echo  '</li></ul></td></tr></table></div>' . "\n";
			} else {
				echo '<li class="page_item">';
				echo wp_loginout();
				echo '</li></ul></div>' . "\n";
			}

Hi there!
I have followed from the previous thread mentioned by the OP, to this one and have copied the code snippet that juggledad provided and pasted it into the bfa_header_config.php as instructed, but there is no log in/out link appearing in my menu? Very confused here..
I am using WP 3.2.1 and Atahualpa 3.6.7. Please help!

I am simply trying to add a 'log out' button to the main menu. There doesn't need to be a 'log in' button there because the site is using Absolute Privacy to lockdown the site to visits without logging in. Log out should redirect back to the 'log in' page then.

Basically if a visitor logs in via the 'log in' page it directs to the home, and other than showing the admin bar at the top (which i do not want the public to see), there is no log out button anywhere. I also tried the log in & log out plugin, but it didn't work. So, I'm wanting to just code a logout button as the last (far right) button on the main menu at the top of the page.

That code will only work if you are using the Atahualpa menu. If you are using a WordPress custom menu, it won't work.

thanks for the reply.

I think i am using the atahualpa main menu?
hmmmm...
