[Plugin: BAW Login Logout Menu] register adds emty item in nav menu

Interesting that he has the same issue that you mentioned, yet doesn’t use TML.

AlexJS: Could you test if disabling plugins one by one and finally reverting to the 2011 theme removes the error? Also, is the “hole” in your menu at the same place every time you reload the same page, ie. the location of the whole changes only when the page changes?

Jeff: I thought the same. To correct my earlier post, it seems to Julio that the bug is on TML side, but it could also be that TML’s behavior is correct and we need to look further to identify the cause.

While it’s possible that this functionality of BAWLLM depends on other plugins’ strict adherence to some recommended behavior, it could also be that this is an issue on the BAWLLM side. Hopefully Julio can have another look at this.

On his submission to the TML support forum he mentions “when $post_id and $title are sent empty, you change the title, but there is no link.” I had a look at bawllm.php to see how it handles these, but wasn’t able to puzzle it out yet.

I found a bit of code in bawllm.php that seems related:

case '#bawregister#':
				if( is_user_logged_in() ) $item = null; else $item->url = site_url( 'wp-login.php?action=register', 'login' );
			break;
		}
		$item->url = esc_url( $item->url );
	}
	return $item;

This is related to my case, where an unwanted <a>Log in</a> was output in the HTML only on the profile page and always in the position where the Register link would be displayed for non-logged-in users. Not sure if it is related AlexJS’s case, as he says the item locations are random.

Even in my case, I don’t see why after $item = null; esc_url() would return anything for it except null. Julio’s patch for TML fixed it for me, so it could be that TML does something strange without the fix, and my issue is unrelated to that of AlexJS.

AlexJS: Do you use the “Register” menu item? If, does the issue show only for logged-in users, and does it disappear if you disable that menu item?

Empty menu item does not appear where the ‘register’ link would be, but appears only in other locations?

The last time I switched themes back and forth the menus stayed intact, but widgets were moved to the bottom of the widgets pane. Their settings were kept, so I had only to drag them back to their places.

Does the issue happen when you have no other plugins enabled?

It seems our issues are separate, so I’ve continued posting on my issue on the thread.
