Add these somewhere on your theme... Where you want the links.
<?php wp_register('',''); ?> | <?php wp_loginout(); ?>
This is what I currently have, any idead ?
<!-- begin sidebar -->
<?php global $user_ID; ?>
<div id="sidebar">
<?php if ($user_ID) { ?>
<h2><?php _e('User Options'); ?></h2>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
Whats your URL?
id is temp and password is temp. You will beprompted twice for this info. This is another problem I recently experienced with being prompted twice for the id and password.
Can someone take a look at this for me ?
Thanks in advance ?
The double login you are referring to is not a WP login. You have password protected some directories, and either due to redirects or some other reason it's happening. You might inquire with your host about that.
I'm seeing a login and password, along with a "remember me" check box. Also the submit button.
I tried using temp/temp in that login area, and was redirected to http://www.clanobrien.us/blog/wp-login.php
with an error:wrong user name.
If you are not seeing the button, you might be in IE, and that might be the issue ala CSS or the coding.
I am a doing a bad job of explaining this issue. When you initially go to my site http://www.clanobrien.us you are initiaaly prompted to put in the WEBSITE id and password twice. I relaize this NOT a WP issues and I am trying to resolve this issue.
My WP issie is this. If I sign in to WP( I am an admin), the site admin button is not displayed. Why is this happening ?
This worked previously.
Thanks in advance.
So if you login you are not shown a site admin link to the dashboard?
Correct, if i login to wp the site admin link is not displayed.
I am also noticing that if you click on a post the page that gets displayed blank. The only change I recall is someone in the forum had me change my http://www.clanobrien.us/index.php file to the below:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
define('WP_IN_ROOTDIR', true);
require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
Now this is odd. I click on the Archives button and the Site Admin button appears.
It appears once I sign into wp it is not recognizing that I am signed in, but if I clck onto another link on my sidebar then it seems to recognize that I am signed in and my site admin button appears.
Should I try reinstalling WP ?
Is there any thing I should review to determine why the site admin button does not appear after the initial sign-in ? If I later click on another link within the sidebar the site admin button appears. Thus I think that for some reason after I click on the submit button it is not running the below code:
<!-- begin sidebar -->
<?php global $user_ID; ?>
<div id="sidebar">
<?php if ($user_ID) { ?>
<h2><?php _e('User Options'); ?></h2>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
My admin link is at
And yours should follow a similar pattern.
You can leave the link off your main site, and create a subdomain like... http://www.admin.yoursite.com that points to the admin page. Without the link on the main page, you'll look more professional.
I have the link on my page, but that's to make it easy for my other blogger friend to post (but he never does).
It's possible that you are using a template that intentionally left the link off.
I can live without the site admin not displaying, but what about the code "Write Posts" that does not appear when my users sign-in. Does your solution above work for this ?
Thanks in advance for your assistance ?
Okay it now works. I changed "/" to "/blog" in the submit form and now site admin, write post, etc. appears. 2 questions though :
1. Why does this work ? Below is the code.
2. When someone types in http://www.clanobrien.us it will take them to http://www.clanobrien.us. Should it take them to http://www.clanobrien.us/blog ?
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="/" /></form>
I followed the tips found in http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble#Site_URL_Redirecting.
My mistake was following the instuctions found in "Giving Wordpress its own directory" There seems to be some type of conflict in the re-direct of forms when using this strategy.
