Hello and thanks for creating this plugin which I just installed on a test site. Your last entry in your changelog states that there are new options to hide Welcome message and Profile link. I don’t want to hide the welcome message but I do want to hide the profile link. On a long shot, I tried ticking the hide register link but of course that didn’t work. I don’t have a custom profile page yet so I would like to hide the “My Profile” link. How can I hide it? Other than that, your plugin seems to be exactly what I was looking for and works extremely well! Thanks again!!!
Hi, Thanks for getting in touch. Version 2.6.0 has the hide profile option, and I have that version working on two of my sites without any problems. However, two people reported problems with 2.6.0 so I rolled back the changes in 2.6.1 until I figure out the cause of the problem. If you try 2.6.0 please let me know if it works properly, and if not, I’m happy to work with you to fix the problem. -Thanks, Roggie
Hi!
I just installed the new version of the login/logout plugin and now I can not login in my site: the page appear empty!!!
With the previous versión the site works fine.
Can you help me?
Thanks
Hi Leo,
Sorry to hear you having problems after the upgrade – please install 2.6.1 to fix your problem. Could you let me know if you are using the widget or php function to insert login-logout on your site?
Thanks, Roger.
The 2.6.1 plugin version works great!
I’m using the widget.
Thanks!
I’m glad 2.6.1 works for you – I’m trying to track down the cause of the problem – could you let me know which version of WP you are using, and the name of the theme?
Many thanks, Roger.
After upgrading to the new Version 2.6.0, I get the following error when I try to update a post:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/stillwaterclub.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/login-and-out/hypervisor-login-logout.php:375) in /home/www/stillwaterclub.org/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876
Sorry to hear you having problems after the upgrade – please install 2.6.1 to fix your problem. Could you let me know if you are using the widget or php function to insert login-logout on your site?
Thanks, Roger.
V 2.6.1 seems to fix the problem — Thanks.
I used the widget to insert Login Logout on the site.
I’m glad 2.6.1 works for you – could you let me know which version of WP you are using, and the name of the theme?
Many thanks, Roger.
Great plugin! I tried to include it in my header but I can’t seem to style it to go where I want it. I can get around but adding code to php and creating style is a challenge for me. Any possible solutions? Thanks
I tried putting it in the navigation file of my theme and keep getting an error. Below is the code. (I don’t really know this stuff, just winging it)
using_permalinks()) {
$page_format = ”;
$page_start = add_query_arg(‘paged’, ‘%#%’);
} else {
$page_format = (substr($page_start, -1 ,1) == ‘/’ ? ” : ‘/’) .
user_trailingslashit(‘page/%#%/’, ‘paged’);;
$page_start .= ‘%_%’;
}
echo ”. “\n”;
echo paginate_links( array(
‘base’ => $page_start,
‘format’ => $page_format,
‘total’ => $wp_query->max_num_pages,
‘mid_size’ => 2,
‘current’ => ($paged ? $paged : 1),
‘type’ => ‘list’,
‘prev_text’ => ‘<‘,
‘next_text’ => ‘>‘,
));
echo “rh_hype_lilo();
echo “\n\n”;
?>
You need to remove “echo” and the quote mark that follows it from your rh_hype_lilo() lilne.
I’d like to put the login link on top of the navigation in my theme (candy theme) do I just copy the : “rh_hype_lilo(); and put it anywhere?
Yes, that’s all you need to do. Don’t forget the “start PHP” and “end PHP” tags if you are inserting it directly into an HTML portion of your theme rather than a PHP portion.
How can I modify the plugin so it sends users to another domain when they logout?
I’m using it on a subdomain which I use for my clients. When they press logout I want to send them back to the main website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Change the href destination for $link_string_logout to point to your home page. e.g search the PHP file for ‘. wp_logout_url($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]) .’ and replace it (including the single quotes and full stops – with your homepage URL.
Admin,
I found ‘. wp_logout_url($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]) .’ and replaced it with http://mydomain.com. Just tested it and it does take the user back to the main website. But it doesn’t log them out of the subdomain. Have I done something wrong?
Yes, replace ‘. wp_logout_url( ) . ‘ , and change $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] to http://yourdomain.com
I’m having the same problem – the redirect works, but the user isn’t logged out. I’ve changed $link_string_logout to ='<a href="http://mydomain.com" …etc. in three different places, so I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything. Your reply to Luke doesn't make sense to me – isn't that exactly what you said to do the first time?
I think your logout fails because you replaced the function call wp_logout_url() with a literal URL. The function call returns the supplied URL, if there is one, and nonce value — which is probably needed to successfully logout.
Having said that, I replaced $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] with “http://www.google.com” and I get logged out but not redirected. I’ll chew on it for a while and get back to you….
Problem solved. I replaced JUST $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] with the redirect url and both logout and redirect now work. Thanks for your help!
Hi Roger,
I’m running wordpress 3.01 with your log in lug in on a mac.
I’ve installed your plug-in, but alas I’ve tested in Firefox, chrome and safari and NONE of your tickboxes actually tick for:
Display email address:
Hide option label:
Hide Register link:
So I’m unable to exclude the elements I need in the admin area!!!
Are you able to help?
Thanks,
Sally 🙂
The checkboxes work for all browsers except Chrome (Chrome seems to have a bug, lots of websites have this issue with Chrome). It sounds like you have another active WordPress plugin that is clashing with LoginLogout. Try disabling other plugins and the checkboxes should work when you find the conflicting plug. If you let me know which plug is causing the problem I can look into this in more detail.
Roger,
Snappy little plug-in. Thank you!
I have 2 additional needs, which require your assistance, since I’m not a .php expert.
1. How do I best force your Profile selection to redirect to an existing custom profile popup, which is different from the WP profile page? Where should I change the code?
2. How can I force a user, after logging in, to my site’s “Welcome” page, instead of dropping them back to the last page displayed on a previous session?
Thanks for your time & expertise!
I’m glad you like it! Edit the plugin’s PHP and change the href targets for $link_string_logout and $link_string_profile to point to the pages you want.
Hello: thanks for your plugin. I wanted to point out that I think there’s one problem with translations – the text for “my profile” seems to be hardcoded in the php plugin, it is not retrieved from that po-mo-whatever file. I’ve been activating and deactivating the plugin, deleting and reinstalling to no avail, until I figured it out, looked the php file and found it there.
The plugin is very useful since, as you say in the description, the “META” widget takes up too much space and the links it contains are not removable nor editable. Thanks!
Thanks for letting me know about the missing translation, I’ll fix it and issue an update…
Thanks for the clever plugin.
I’m trying to modify/improve the italian translation with PoEdit. As soon as I upload the new hypervisor-login-logout-it_IT.mo file, the login-out box disappear from the web page. If I upload only the new hypervisor-login-logout-it_IT.po file it keeps showing the old translation. What am I doing wrong? Usually my translations works….
Try deativating the plugin, replace the old MO file in the plugins/login-and-out/ directory with your new one, then reactivate the plugin.
If you send me the new translation I’ll add it to the ZIP.
Cheers, Roger.
Thanks for replying. I have done it but no success. It is funny, I have removed the .po file, deactivated and re-activated and it keeps showing the italian translation
Maybe best to send me your translation and I’ll issue an update, once you install the update the new translation should work properly. I mailed you earlier so you should have my address. -Roger.
Hi,
I can offer you a catalan translation. How send it to you?
Aleix Buch
Hi Aleix,
Thanks for the offer. The main steps are:
1) edit the POT file (it’s in login-and-out.zip) and add the appropriate translation for each line in the POT file. Save the result as a PO file.
2) Create a MO file from the PO file. An MO file is a binary file which contains all the original strings and their translations in an optimized format. The conversion is done using the msgfmt tool. If you can’t do this don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.
3) Send me the MO and PO files, I’ll add them to the ZIP
If you use Windows there are some tools to make editing the POT file easier – some info here: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2007/08/27/localizing-a-wordpress-plugin-using-poedit/
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks again, Roger
Hi,
you can download the files from…

Aleix
Hi Aleix,
Many thanks, I’ve updated the Plugin with your translation.
Best regards, Roger.
I need theoption to switch the widget on only on certain WP-pages, not on others. Is that possible?
I am currently working with the plugin. However, I would only like my visitors to login and not to register. Is it possible to remove the “register” – and how do I do it?
Thanks in advance for assistance!
Yes, use the “Hide register” option in Tools – Login & Out (or same option in the widget control panel. -Roger
Where do i send a Swedish translation (PO file)?
This was really quick.
Thank you for the update 2.1.4.
Ulli
Hi,
thanks for the login & logout widget which works fine!
I can provide you with a German translation for the latest release (2.1.3). Please tell me, where to upload.
Regards
Ulli
Hi,
I’ve been playing with many addons trying to find the best (simple) ones for an upcoming proyect and so far this is the best to handle my redirections.
I have one question regarding the “skinning” of the widget: All my theme’s widgets go inside separate boxes. To achieve that, I need to wrap all your widget with tags and the widget itself in another tag… where should I place them? I intend not to use the php stuff.
Thanks in advance!
I have just released version 2.1.0 which includes new options to insert your own HTML before and after the widget. I hope this will allow you to skin the widget in any way you like. -Roger
Thanks Roger, it worked perfectly.
I sent you an email with updated Spanish translation.
Thanks again!
Unfortunately when I enter a div or another tag with a class or id (which are of course using quotes) I get a returned entry with backslashes before the quote marks like this “. It means it won’t match any classes or ids in my css 🙁
Thanks for letting me know – I’ll release an update in an hour or so that will fix this problem. -Roger.
[…] Login-Logout […]
Hello!
I just installed the login/logout widget and I love it. Nice job!
However, the links that I added do not have a checkbox showing. I have two test links that I would like to deactivate or delete. The info says to uncheck the box but the checkboxes do not appear in Chrome. When I tried in FireFox they were there!
Thanks!
Morgan
Hi Morgan,
Thanks for getting in touch, and for the bug report – I’ll look into it asap and let you know when it’s fixed. -Roger
Hi again, unfortunately it seems this is a bug in Chrome..

Hi Roger,
I have made a Norwegian translation and can also provide a Dutch translation. I have made the .mo and .po files and copied them to the languages subfolder of the plugin for testing them on my own installation, but it just keeps showing the plugin in English. I would expect that the plugin takes the language settings from the WordPress installation and then looks for a corresponding translation in the languages subfolder. Maybe I’m using the wrong filename. Is there a way I can test them myself or should I just send the files to you? Just let me know where to send them, you have my emailaddress!
Regards,
Frank
Hi,
I can provide you a french translation.
The question is how ??
Hi Seb,
Many thanks for the offer. The main steps are:
1) edit the POT file (it’s in login-and-out.zip) and add the appropriate translation for each line in the POT file. Save the result as a PO file.
2) From a PO file a MO file is built. This is a binary file which contains all the original strings and their translations in a format suitable for fast translation extraction. The conversion is done using the msgfmt tool. If you can’t do this don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.
3) I add the MO file to the ZIP
If you use Windows there are some tools to make editing the POT file easier – some info here: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2007/08/27/localizing-a-wordpress-plugin-using-poedit/
Please let me know if you need any more information or help.
Thanks again, Roger
