Ok, so I found this code, which I modified to suit my needs. Btw, I'm using WooCommerce, which explains the "wc" in some of the function calls:
//Add login/logout link to primary menu
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 .= '<li>Log Out</li>';
}
elseif (!is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'primary') {
$items .= '<li>Log In</li>';
}
return $items;
This adds the login/logout menu items, and they work fine. However, they're stuck at the end of the menu, at the moment. I'd like to be able to edit the position using the editor in wp-admin. The solution I thought of was to maybe just create login and logout pages, and use header location redirects with those lines of code in them to get to the proper URLs, but the issue I see with that is that there will always be a login item and logout, no matter what status the user is currently in. Would there maybe be a way to dynamically add a site-wide CSS rule to hide the opposite menu item, based on the log in status?
Or is there an easier way?
Not the best idea but you can try.
Create in wp-admin menu section new menu item like "Custom Link"
Log Out
http://www.example.com/account/customer-logout/
Log In
http://www.example.com/account/
And add a custom class to a WordPress menu item to manage visibility
For example, you will see "logged-in" class on the body of the page and hide "Log In" link or change it to "Account" with the same link.

I'm working with WordPress.
I have two different menu.
If the user log in, the menu change.
So the first one is just for users that aren't connected.
Do you know a solution to do that ?
Have I to change some PHP files ?
EDIT
QUESTION
On my website I have a Back-Office. On the BO there is menu-2.
How could I put menu-2 only on the Back-Office ? And have the other menu (menu-1) on the original website ?
You need function is_user_logged_in() .
Shortest path to solve your problem is creating two different menus, one for logged in users and another for "guests".
Go to Appearance » Menus, create two menus logged-in and logged-out.
After creating the menus, add this code in your theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin:
function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args = '' ) {
if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$args['menu'] = 'logged-in';
} else {
$args['menu'] = 'logged-out';
}
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'my_wp_nav_menu_args' );

In my website dashboard i have to hide Media, Comments, Contact menu items for one user who has administrator role. I googled that I have to use remove_cap function, but couldn't find enough information even to start my task.
You can put something like this inside your functions.php. :
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'adjust_the_wp_menu', 999999 );
function adjust_the_wp_menu() {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
if($user && isset($user->user_login) && 'desired_user_login' == $user->user_login)
{
//Remove menu items from admin area
remove_menu_page( 'edit-comments.php' );//For comments
remove_menu_page( 'upload.php' );//For media
//Remove third party plugins admin menu items
remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=your_custom_post_slug' );//for custom posts
remove_menu_page( 'your_plugin_page_slug' );//for custom plugin's page
// do stuff
}
}
Not sure what is the Contact menu in your Wordpress. I guess it is added by some plugin. You can try to figure out it's slug & use it inside the code above.
Also note, that it will only hide the menu items. Pages itself will be still available if respective url is accessed directly. To prevent this you should manage user roles or put some conditional logic into your functions.php.
I'm fairly new to wordpress and am looking for code to show a login link on the top bar and also on the menu, the 'my account' page to only show for logged in users.
i can only find the coding is_user_logged_in() which is doing the reverse of what i'm looking for.
using the Menu Items Visibility Control plugin, unless there's a better solution out there?
The function you cited should work fine for this use case.
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
// Show the My Account link
} else {
// Show the login button
}
Or, if you need to check if a user is NOT logged in:
if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
// Do something
}
I'm not sure if this is possible or advisable, but I'd like to have a top-level menu item on the sidebar in the admin dashboard that links to a specific page within wordpress for editing.
Maybe there's a better way of doing this... here's the functionality I'm after:
I have a page called "Upgrade Contents" where my client can edit the contents of their upgrade package sitewide. I'd like them to be able to edit this page directly from the admin dashboard, like a setting page. Problem is, I don't know how to add a link to edit this page to the admin AND I already have everything set up with ACF using this page.
Is adding a link easy to do or should I just scrap it and make a settings page for my theme and add THAT to the admin?
To add a link at the top level of the menu you can add an item to the global $menu array, like this:
function link_to_user_settings() {
global $menu;
$title = 'User Settings';
$url = 'URL_OF_YOUR_PAGE';
$position = 73;
$permission = 'read';
$icon = 'dashicons-admin-links';
$menu[$position] = array( $title, $permission, $url, '', 'menu-top', '', $icon );
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'link_to_user_settings' );
Change the variables accordingly to your needs.
The $position var is where you want the link to appear based on the default positions you can find at the add_menu_page() documentation (in my example 73 means after the Users menu item).
I'm trying to get Wordpress to give me a menu item to go to "latest posts." They come up on the frontpage, but once I navigate away, I want a menu item to get back there. It seems so obvious, but several hours later, the best I could do was create a custom menu with a link to "uncategorised" as a workaround. There MUST be a better way! And this way, I get a box saying "Archive of posts filed under the Uncategorized category. " Not wanted!
Create a custom page in your template directory (http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates) with a custom query (check at http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query, http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts or http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts).
Create a page in your admin and select the template you created.
Add a link to this page in your menu and you're done.
Maybe this will help: http://www.viper007bond.com/2011/09/20/code-snippet-add-a-link-to-latest-post-to-wordpress-nav-menu/
It's a filter that will 'search and replace' placeholder anchors such as '#latestpost1' with the actual url of the latest post, and thus dynamically modify the menu before it's rendered.
I'm not sure how this is for SEO, but it's a clever solution.
Give all your posts a category name. Use something generic like "News", "Articles" or "Blogs". Then, choose the category with the name you picked from the menu page under categories. Add this category link to your menu. Rename the link whatever you wish - "Blog" - for example. And, viola - all your posts will appear when people click on that link.
Try this plugin: https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/dynamic-latest-post-in-nav-menu/ works really well and code is open sourced here: https://github.com/hijiriworld/dynamic-latest-post-in-nav-menu
simple solution:
I took this guy's code: http://www.viper007bond.com/2011/09/20/code-snippet-add-a-link-to-latest-post-to-wordpress-nav-menu/
Basically what he wrote is for the menu item to link to the latest post, not posts (plural), so I just modified it and it's working:
<?php
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
// Hook in early to modify the menu
// This is before the CSS "selected" classes are calculated
add_filter( 'wp_get_nav_menu_items', 'replace_placeholder_nav_menu_item_with_latest_post', 10, 3 );
}
// Replaces a custom URL placeholder with the URL to the latest post
function replace_placeholder_nav_menu_item_with_latest_post( $items, $menu, $args ) {
// Loop through the menu items looking for placeholder(s)
foreach ( $items as $item ) {
// Is this the placeholder we're looking for?
if (!strpos(($item->url), 'latestpost'))
continue;
// if ( 'latestpost' != $item->url )
// continue;
// Get the latest post
$latestpost = get_posts( array(
'numberposts' => 1,
) );
if ( empty( $latestpost ) )
continue;
// Replace the placeholder with the real URL
$new_link = $item->url;
$new_link = substr($new_link, 0, strlen($new_link) - 12);
$item->url = $new_link;
}
// Return the modified (or maybe unmodified) menu items array
return $items;
}
