WordPress ‘Sign up / Sign in’

Last updated 01/04/2023

The Bread & Butter sign up / sign in tool adds a ‘Sign up / in’ menu option that your users see when they are not authenticated.

The ‘Continue with’ will appear and prompt the user to authenticate. Once signed in, it displays the user’s name, and a Sign Out button when expanded:

You can add ‘Sign up / Sign in’ to your page header by following the steps below.

Step 1

In the left menu in WordPress Admin, click on Appearance > Menus.

Step 2

At the top right of the screen, click on Screen Options, and check CSS Classes.

Step 3

If you have more than one menu, choose your Header menu from the menu dropdown under the Edit Menus tab, and click Select.

If you only have one menu, it will be automatically selected and you can move on to the next step.

Step 4

For URL, enter:

For Link Text, enter:

Then, click Add to Menu.
