    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,
    Adam

    Hi,

    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

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-log/

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

    Thanks

    Update:

    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.

    Update:

    The e-mial log is working well. I’m using:
    Email Log Version 1.8.1 | By Sudar

    I 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!

    Hi,

    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

    Hi Paolo,

    Where do I add that code? I tried to put it in the custom CSS and that didn’t work.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    that is php, not css and as such you need to add it in function.php of your theme.

    Thanks

    Hi 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,

    That’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,

    Hi 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…

    Thanks

    Hi Paolo,

    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
