Register Login Links HTML Widget for WordPress Menus

This widget provides an alternative simpler version of the Buying Buddy Portal Menu widget that can be placed in a WordPress header when added as a menu item.
Many WordPress themes allow multiple "menus" and often there is a widget area in the header where a a menu can be placed. This method helps you use this capability to show the widget links.

The Portal Menu Widget has a filter option that also displays Register/Login text links - however with WordPress it's often not easy or possible to add a shortcode to a header.

The solution is to add function to the WordPress site menu.
We provide this HTML-only version of the Portal Menu widget as an alternative solution specifically for adding to WordPress menus.

Advanced Method
Please note that this is an advanced method that will add an element to the WordPress menu. You will almost certainly need to adjust styling with additional custom CSS.
