 * when trying to add login log out button to the main menu it does not work in 
   this theme but has no problem in others that I use
    this is the way I added the
   buttons: add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu_items’, ‘add_loginout_link’, 10, 2 ); function
   add_loginout_link( $items, $args ) { if (is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location
   == ‘primary’) { $items .= ‘
    - [Log Out](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-modify-menus/'. wp_logout_url() .'?output_format=md)
    - ‘;
       } elseif (!is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == ‘primary’) {
      $items .= ‘
    - [Log In](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-modify-menus/'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'?output_format=md)
    - ‘;
       } return $items; }

 * Hi,
 * your code does not work because there is no menu area called “primary” in BrickYard
   theme. The appropriate slug for the Main Header Menu is “main-navigation”:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_loginout_link', 10, 2 );
       function add_loginout_link( $items, $args ) {
           if (is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'main-navigation') {
               $items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
           }
           elseif (!is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'main-navigation') {
               $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
           }
           return $items;
       }
       ```
   
 * Best regards,
    Tomas Toman
