LJ Custom Menu Links is a plugin that allows you to put extra links in the menus of most WordPress Themes. It is unique in the way that it doesn’t require any code changes to your theme as the extra links are added within WordPress core functionality. This plugin requires no technical knowledge to administer, it is all contained within the WordPress admin pages with a consistent look and feel for ease of use.
Functions:
<ul>
<li>Add Extra Menu links to your theme</li>
<li>Use pages as placeholders for menu links (This allows you full customization as to the location of your links)</li>
<li>Control if menus items are shown based on if a user is logged in</li>
<li>Shows a logout link if a user is logged in</li>
<li>Provides the ability to provide a link back to your admin pages only if a user is logged in</li>
<li>Full menu sorting available</li>
<li>You can now take full control of how you want Custom Menu Links to operate, fully automatic integration or manual integration (modifying your theme for LJ Custom Menu Links).</li>
</ul>
If you are having compatibility issues with LJ Custom Menu Links outputting its links inside other plugins or sidebar widgets then this update is for you. Currently due to core wordpress limitations, if you use LJ Custom Menu Links there may be compatibility issues with other plugins. You now have the option (via the Advanced Options page) to turn off <code>Use wp_list_pages Filter</code> option and insert the required code to make LJ Custom Menu Links work without interruption within your own theme.
To add flexible location links (Dynamic Links) you need to create a new page as a placeholder for that link, under the edit page menu is a box to control what link to show. Please see the screenshots on the next page for a description. Links created in this way don’t have the ability to choose the target window (you may still control the visibility of the link via the private or public based on the page settings, and also the ordering based on page settings).
The admin page now also contains a list of Dynamic Links, which can be deleted or edited from within the LJCustomMenuLinks admin section.
To add LJCustomMenuLinks please use the LJCustomMenuLinks item in the Admin section, these links are added to the end of the standard wordpress menu system but have full customization ability.
The plugin has also had an attribution function added. If you would like to provide attribution for the plugin then add the following code into your wordpress theme. The footer is a good place for it.
<pre><code><?php
 if (function_exists('LJCustomMenuLinksAttribution')) {
 LJCustomMenuLinksAttribution(); 
 }
?>
</code></pre>

With this plugin you can easily add a dynamic login/logout menu item to any menu on your WordPress site. The menu item will change based on whether the current user is logged in or logged out. You can also set a specific login page url, login redirect url and a logout redirect url.
Thanks to Juliobox for his prior efforts on the BAW Login/Logout Menu plugin which this is derived from
<h3>CONFIGURE SETTINGS</h3>
After installing and activating the plugin, you can find the settings in your dashboard under: <code>Settings > Login or Logout</code>
Login Page URL – This should be the URL to the page where your users will login at. For most wordpress sites this will be <code>/wp-login.php</code> but if you’re using a membership plugin like MemberPress, it might be something like <code>/login/</code> instead.
Login Redirect URL – This is the URL you would like your users to be redirected to after they’ve successfully logged in. You can set it to <code>/</code> to take them to the home page after logging in. If you’re using a membership plugin like MemberPress, you might want to use <code>/account/</code> instead. NOTE: Some plugins may override this if they are configured to redirect your users somewhere else during login.
Logout Redirect URL – This is the URL you would like your users to be redirected to after they click the Logout link from this menu item. Use a <code>/</code> to redirect them to the home page, or you might want to redirect them back to the login page at <code>/login/</code> or <code>/wp-login.php</code> etc.
<h3>ADD ITEM TO MENU</h3>
In your dashboard visit <code>Appearance > Menus</code>.
Then at the top right of that page click the <code>Screen Options</code> button and ensure that <code>Login/Logout</code> checkbox is checked.
Then select a menu to edit, or create a new menu if you don’t already have one.
In the left sidebar find <code>Login/Logout</code> and click the checkbox next to <code>Login|Logout</code> and then click <code>Add to Menu</code>.
You can now drag the menu item wherever you’d like it to appear in your menu. The <code>URL</code> in the menu settings must be left at <code>#lolmiloginout#</code> but you can change the <code>Navigation Label</code> if you’d like it to say something else. Just ensure that the <code>|</code> is there in the label separating the two words.
Now save your menu. That’s it!
<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
After logging in, menu still shows “Login” or Vice-Versa – This is most commonly caused by caching. If you’re using a caching solution such as Cloudflare, WPRocket, or others, be sure that caching is disabled for logged in users, and disable browser caching options as well.
Login is redirecting users somewhere other than my settings – Many times other plugins will have their own login redirect handling which overrides this plugin’s, such as MemberPress for example. In this case, the other plugins will need to be configured to redirect the user where you’d like them to go.

Login or Logout Menu Item

Add a dynamic "Login" or "Logout" menu item to any WordPress Menu and control redirects.
