Hi Franklin,

These are actually pages created in WordPress itself and just added to the navigation menu.

For the logout link you can follow the instructions in the link below.
hidden link.

To create a my account page you can check the link below.
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-my-account-page/

For the My support tickets page, in your case what will this page be displaying ?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Franklin,

These questions in your thread are not directly related to Toolset itself but wordpress in general. I cannot guide on specifically how to achieve each as these fall out of the scope of our support forum.

However let me see what I can do.
- How do I add the user name on the menu?

You can make use of the shortcode below.
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-current-user

However I don't believe that the wordpress menu allows for shortcodes to be added to it so you will probably need to make use of the plugin below.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-in-menus/

- How about showing the login menu for logged out users and account name and manu for logged in users only?

Perhaps you can try this plugin below.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-menus/

- How do I set up the newsletter management fields?
Not sure what you mean by this as this on our site is something completely custom.

- The My suport tickets page: prety much like what you have here on Toolset site. A page where users can see Subscribed Forum Topoics, Favorite forum topics and topics created

Our forum page isn't built with Toolset but its a highly customized version of BBPress.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Franklin,

I'm still not 100% clear on this.
Newsletter management:
- How do I create the fields and make them show on a page what I will call Newsletter namangement so users can chose their preferences?

- How do I add those fields to the registeer form?

Is it that users will be able to see a post and subscribe to that post ?

You can create the fields and display them using our Blocks and Types plugin but I need a clear direction or the scope in order to give a proper response.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Sorry I wasnt very clear on my description.

Basically, I want users to be able to selec newsletter subscription during registration.

- So I need to add the newsletter fields to the registration form
- then create the newsletter management page (like the one you have here on toolset.com) Do I get a notification when users change their newsletter preferences on this page?

I hope that's clear.

Hi Franklin,

Ok so this newsletter option is completely custom and not related to our Toolset plugins. This functionality is actually apart of BBpress you will need to consult the BBpress support team in order to get any additional information on this one.

Thanks,
Shane
