Login & Logout Navigation Menu Links

New

Masteriyo adds a Masteriyo LMS panel to Appearance > Menus so you can place auth-aware links directly in any classic WordPress navigation menu. Each link resolves its destination URL at runtime and is shown or hidden automatically — logged-out visitors see Login and Register; logged-in visitors see My Account and Logout. No shortcodes, no custom CSS, no conditional logic required.

#Prerequisites

1. Masteriyo LMS installed and activated
2. A classic WordPress menu created under Appearance > Menus (WordPress block themes using the Site Editor use a different menu system — this feature applies to classic menus only)

#Setting Up Navigation Menu Links

1. Go to Appearance > Menus in your WordPress admin.
2. In the left sidebar, find and expand the Masteriyo LMS panel.
3. Check the items you want to add to your menu.
4. Click Add to Menu.
5. Drag the items into the position you want within the menu structure.
6. Click Save Menu.

#Available Menu Items

Item	Default Label	Visible to
Login	Login	Logged-out visitors only
Register	Register	Logged-out visitors only
My Account	My Account	Logged-in users only
Logout	Logout	Logged-in users only
Login | Logout	Login / Logout	Everyone — switches automatically

Each item shows a short hint below its Navigation Label field in the menu editor, describing its visibility rule. You do not need to remember which item is shown to whom — the hint is always visible when editing the menu.

#Login | Logout Toggle

The Login | Logout item is a single menu link that switches both its label and its destination depending on whether the visitor is logged in or out:

• Logged out — displays your login label and links to the Masteriyo login page
• Logged in — displays your logout label and links to the secure logout URL

This is useful when you want a single menu slot that handles both states instead of two separate items.

#Customizing Labels

You can change the visible text of any item by editing its Navigation Label in the menu editor — this works the same way as any other menu item.

#Custom Labels for the Login | Logout Toggle

The Login | Logout toggle supports a special pipe-separated format so you can set different text for each state. In the Navigation Label field, enter the logged-out label, a pipe character (|), and then the logged-in label:

Sign In | Sign Out

The text before the pipe is shown to logged-out visitors; the text after the pipe is shown to logged-in users. If you do not include a pipe, the default translated labels Login and Logout are used.

#How Visibility Works

Masteriyo filters the menu at render time — items that should not be shown to the current visitor are removed from the HTML entirely, not just hidden with CSS. This means:

• Logged-out visitors never receive the My Account or Logout links in the page source.
• Logged-in users never receive the Login or Register links in the page source.
• Child items nested under a hidden Masteriyo item are also removed automatically so they do not float to the top level of the menu.

The menu editor always shows all five items regardless of your own login state, so you can always see and edit the full set.

#Admin Notice

When no Masteriyo menu items have been added to any menu yet, a dismissible notice appears in Masteriyo > Settings > General > Pages suggesting you configure your navigation menus.

• Click Configure Menus in the notice to jump directly to the Masteriyo LMS panel in Appearance > Menus.
• Click the × on the notice to dismiss it permanently for your account.
• The notice also disappears automatically the first time you add any Masteriyo item to a menu — no need to manually dismiss it.
