Hi,
So I’m running a test with a new user sign up and a few questions:
1) when the new user signs up, the confirmation e-mail only went to the website admin and not the new user confirming signing up. How do I get the confirmation e-mail to be sent too the new user as well?
2) when a user tries to “forgot Password” function, it does not work. It does not send an e-mail to the user with a new password.
3)is there a log out button?
Little help please.
Thanks,

when there are problems with notification, most of the time they are due to SMTP problem. A SMTP plugin could help solving this.
There are several topics in the forum about this: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/search/?bbp_search=SMTP
1st I would instal the email log plugin and I would try to register another test user. If the plugin logs the email, but you don’t receive it, than it is 100% a SMTP problem.
The log out link is avaialable in the loginbox widget.
Let us know how you went,
Thanks
February 17, 2016 at 9:03 pm #123878where is the e-mail log plug in? i cannot find it…

You can find it in Plugins >> Add New and then search for email log.
Thanks

I tried the e-mail log and the problem persists, so I’ll try the SMTP solutions you pointed to. I’ll update after I try it.
About the “log out” part, on the menu bar at the top of my page, can I just have a “log out” be a drop down menu item when I hover over the “sign in”? How could I do that? It would look much cleaner.
Thanks..
AdamFebruary 18, 2016 at 12:09 am #123916Update:
The e-mial log is working well. I’m using:
Email Log Version 1.8.1 | By SudarI tried a bunch of SMTP plugins and only one was able to do the trick for me. I wanted to share incase anyone else was having an issue:
SMTP by BestWebSoft Version 1.0.5 | By BestWebSoft
That just leaves one more thing:
Let me know if it’s possible to create a log out button. I would like to have it in the top menu and on hover drop down from the “Sign in” Home Page/Thanks a bunch!
AdamFebruary 18, 2016 at 4:33 pm #124187Hi,
this will add a logout link at the end of the menu :
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_loginout_link', 9999, 2 );
Adding it as a submenu of your current log in link would be much more complex if even possible.
Thanks
February 18, 2016 at 5:37 pm #124279Hi Paolo,
Where do I add that code? I tried to put it in the custom CSS and that didn’t work.
Thanks,
Adam
February 18, 2016 at 5:55 pm #124323Hi,
that is php, not css and as such you need to add it in function.php of your theme.
Thanks
February 19, 2016 at 1:35 am #124433Hi Paolo,
I tried to add it to the function.php file of the theme and it erased all the links in the menu. Have any other ideas?
Thanks,
Adam
February 19, 2016 at 4:13 pm #124752That’s probably because of the login link you already added and the 2 functions are in conflict.
How did you add the login in link?
Let us know,
February 19, 2016 at 5:38 pm #124779Hi Paolo,
All I did was add that code you gave me into the function.php file. I tried it in a bunch of different places to see if it mattered. Thats all…

February 19, 2016 at 6:40 pm #124786Hi,
I asked how you added the login link, not how yo uare trying to add this.
Please provide a link and admin credentials and we will have a look for you.
Thanks

Did you get a chance to see if you can add the “sign out” button in the top menu?
I was thinking about it more and the ideal situation is if the the current “Sign in” button in the header changed to a “sign out” button if someone was logged in.
Is that possible?
Thanks,
Adam -
