 * I am trying to get all my links on my primary menu bar.
 * I have log in and log out links already on the primary menu by adding
 *     ```
       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-menu') {
               $items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
           }
           elseif (!is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'primary-menu') {
               $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
           }
           return $items;
       }
       ```
   
 * to the functions file in my site.
 * What I am wondering is there a way for me to add the register link as well but
   have it disappear when they log in?

 * Try this (I’ve modified/enhanced your code a little):
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_loginout_link', 10, 2 );
       function add_loginout_link( $items, $args ) {
   
       	if($args->theme_location == 'primary-menu') {
       		if(is_user_logged_in()) {
       			$items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
       		}
       		else {
       			$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
       			$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=register') .'">Register</a></li>';
       		}
       	}
           return $items;
       }
       ```

 * I added the code as follows
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_loginout_link', 10, 2 );
       function add_loginout_link( $items, $args ) {
   
       	if($args->theme_location == 'primary-menu') {
       		if(is_user_logged_in()) {
       			$items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
       		}
       		else {
       			$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
       			$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=register') .'">Register</a></li>';
       		}
       	}
           return $items;
       }
       ```
   
 * it has made the login / Logout Link disappear and all that is shown is the Register
   link.

 * Weird?!
 * Let’s go back to your original code, then:
 *     ```
       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-menu') {
               $items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
           }
           elseif (!is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'primary-menu') {
               $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
               $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=register') .'">Register</a></li>';
           }
           return $items;
       }

 * ok so this particular code is working for the login and logout
 *     ```
       add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_login_logout_link', 10, 2);
       function add_login_logout_link($items, $args) {
               ob_start();
               wp_loginout('index.php');
               $loginoutlink = ob_get_contents();
               ob_end_clean();
               $items .= '<li>'. $loginoutlink .'</li>';
           return $items;
       }
       ```
   
 * how would i modify this to show register if the user is logged out and not if
   the user is logged in.
 * I made a boo boo and posted code from an old site originally I apologize for 
   the confusion

 * Hmm… I don’t like the `ob_start()` method…
 * One sec…

 * Okay, try this one:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_loginout_link', 10, 2 );
       function add_loginout_link( $items, $args ) {
   
       	if($args->theme_location == 'primary') {
       		if (is_user_logged_in()) {
       			$items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
       		}
       		else {
       			$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
       			$items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=register') .'">Register</a></li>';
       		}
       	}
           return $items;
       }
       ```
   
 * The problem was the `primary-menu` should be just `primary`.
