   I would like to know how to get a login/logout link on the menu list. I don't like new/potential users having to click the register/site admin link and then clicking the login link at the bottom.

   I remember there being a wp_login() function or something like that in an older version, I tried using it with no success. Any pointers to an API page to look at or some advice is appreciated.

   try
   <?php wp_loginout(); ?>

   That did the trick. Thank you very much.

   This worked great for the log-in and log-out, but I also use a "register" link on my menu. Is there a way to combine all three functions so that logged-in users don't have to have the register button?

   Sorry, just haven't gotten around to learning php.

   Thanks,
   Stu

   Stu,
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_register

   This tag displays either the "Register" link to users that are not logged in or the "Site Admin" link if a user is logged in.

   So your buttons would say either:

   FOR NOT LOGGED IN PERSON:
   Register | Login

   OR

   FOR LOGGED IN USER:
   Site Admin | Logout

   Personally I make efforts to delete these links from my themes, for any site that isn't collecting registrants. If you just have a few authors (or just yourself) then memorize the URL's you need (or bookmark them) and remove the links from your public website theme to avoid reader confusion and unnecessary log-in attempts.

   The URL's you need are simply:
   

   Yoursite.com/wp-login.php
   Yoursite.com/wp-admin
