Login Logout Menu & Redirect

🎉 Version 5.0 — Completely rebuilt Login Logout Menu & Redirect has been rewritten from the ground up. The admin is brand new, the redirect engine is unified, and the menu avatar is now a proper styling tool — not an afterthought. If you used the older version, you'll feel the difference the moment you open the settings page. Everything below is included free. No "Pro" upsell. No paid add-ons. No license keys. 🚀 What's new in 5.0 One unified Rules tab. Every redirect rule lives in a single drag-drop list — condition, value, where to send the user after login, where to send them after logout, on/off. No more hunting through seven different sections to find the rule you set last week. A proper avatar style designer. Five one-click presets (BuddyBoss-style, Minimal, Bold ring, Gradient, Hexagon) and a live preview that mirrors how your avatar will look in a real nav menu while you tweak. Online status dot, hover animations, inline username next to the picture — the polish you'd expect from a community site, without writing CSS. Integrations tab with auto-detection. Install LearnDash, WooCommerce, MemberPress, or any of the 17 supported plugins and the related condition types appear in your rule dropdown automatically. No "Pro upgrade" prompts — if a plugin is active on your site, the integration is ready. Setup wizard that gets you live in ~90 seconds. Four short steps — Goals → Configure → Test → Done. Re-runnable any time from your Plugins screen. Polished confirmation dialogs. Deleting a rule no longer triggers the browser's ugly native confirm box. Instead you get a clean modal that matches the rest of the plugin, keyboard-friendly (Esc cancels, Enter confirms). Built-in documentation. A whole tab of plain-English task walk-throughs covering every common job — add a rule, set fallbacks, add menu items, test a redirect, restore your backup. No need to leave the admin. Form login bridges. Login forms built with Gravity Forms, WPForms, or Elementor Pro now hand off to the same rules engine, so redirects work consistently no matter how someone logs in. Zero-breakage upgrade from v4. Your existing settings are backed up automatically the first time 5.0 runs, and every old role-based, membership-based, and global redirect is converted into the new Rules list. If anything looks wrong, one click in Tools rolls you straight back. 💪 What this plugin does

• Sends people to the right page after they log in. A customer to their account page. A student to their dashboard. An admin wherever they were going. Define unlimited rules — by role, user, email, capability, first-time login, or by which course/product/membership they have.
• Picks where users go after they log out. Home page, login page, or any custom URL — and you can override it per-rule.
• Builds a smarter nav menu. A Login link that disappears when users are logged in. A Logout link that only shows when they are. A Profile link that knows whether you use BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, bbPress, WooCommerce, or plain WordPress. A user avatar styled exactly how you want. The user's name beside it. All using WordPress's normal menu builder — no shortcodes, no block hunting.
• Keeps certain roles out of /wp-admin/. Customers, students, and subscribers go to a friendly page instead of the WordPress dashboard.
• Hides the top admin bar on the front-end for the roles you choose.
• Tests a redirect before going live. The redirect test simulator on the Tools tab tells you exactly where a given user would land — no need to log in as them and try.
• Exports and imports your settings. Move your whole rules and settings setup between sites with a single JSON file.

🔌 Plug-and-play with what you already use The Rules tab auto-detects what's active on your site. Install any of these and their condition types appear in your dropdown — nothing else to configure. E-commerce

• WooCommerce — redirect by products purchased
• Easy Digital Downloads — redirect by downloads purchased

LMS

• LearnDash — courses and groups
• LifterLMS — courses
• TutorLMS — courses
• LearnPress — courses

Membership

• MemberPress — active membership
• Paid Memberships Pro — membership level
• WooCommerce Memberships — plan
• Restrict Content Pro — subscription level
• Ultimate Member — role
• WishList Member — level
• MemberMouse — membership level
• ProfilePress — membership plan

Login form bridges

• Gravity Forms — User Registration add-on login form
• WPForms — User Registration add-on login form
• Elementor Pro — Login widget

🧩 Menu items you can drop in In Appearance → Menus, add a Custom Link and paste any of these as the URL. The plugin swaps the link for the right content automatically:

• #rsumlogin# — Login link (hidden when logged in)
• #rsumlogout# — Logout link (hidden when logged out)
• #rsumloginlogout# — Smart toggle that swaps between Login and Logout
• #rsumregister# — Register link (hidden when logged in)
• #rsumprofile# — Profile link (auto-detects BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, bbPress, WooCommerce, or WordPress profile)
• #rsumavatar# — User avatar (uses BuddyPress / BuddyBoss avatars if present, otherwise Gravatar)
• #rsumusername# — Display name

Need to override the destination? Append it: #rsumlogin#/dashboard sends them to /dashboard after logging in, #rsumlogin#%currentpage% brings them back to the page they came from. 🎨 Avatar styling that finally feels modern The Avatar style card in the Settings tab is a point-and-click designer. Pick a preset to start, then fine-tune anything you want:

• Five presets — BuddyBoss (recommended), Minimal, Bold ring, Gradient, Hexagon
• Size — 24 to 96 pixels
• Shape — circle, rounded, square, or hexagon
• Border — none, solid color, or gradient ring with adjustable angle and colors
• Effects — soft drop-shadow, outer glow
• Hover animation — none, scale up, lift with shadow, glow pulse, or subtle rotate
• Online status dot — show or hide, with a custom color
• Inline username — show the user's name right next to the avatar, with optional greeting prefix ("Hi, Sarah")

A live preview on the right side of the card shows exactly how it'll render in a real nav menu — no more save-refresh-check-repeat. And if BuddyPress or BuddyBoss is installed, their avatar system is used automatically, so user-uploaded profile photos display correctly. ⚡ Light, fast, and well-behaved

• CSS and JS only load on the pages that need them.
• Avatar styling is generated inline — no extra HTTP request.
• No external CDN calls, no Google Fonts pulled at runtime, no remote telemetry, no daily "heartbeat" pings.
• Works alongside every major caching plugin without special tuning.

1. From your WordPress dashboard, open Plugins → Add New, search for "Login Logout Menu & Redirect", click Install Now, then Activate.
2. The setup wizard opens automatically the first time. Tell it what you want to do (redirects, menu items, or both) and it walks you through the rest.
3. To get back to the settings later, go to Settings → User Menu & Redirect.

To add menu items: open Appearance → Menus, expand Custom Links in the left column, and paste one of the #rsum...# keywords as the URL.

5.0.0 This is a ground-up rebuild of the plugin. The admin is brand new, the redirect engine is unified, and the avatar styling is full-blown rather than a footnote. Existing v4 settings are migrated automatically, and you can roll back any time from Tools. New — Unified Rules tab

• Every redirect rule lives in one place — condition, value, login URL, logout URL, order, status — instead of being split across role, membership, and advanced sections.
• Drag-and-drop ordering. The first rule that matches a logged-in user wins.
• Inline Enable / Disable toggle on each rule.
• Bulk actions (enable, disable, delete) with a polished confirmation dialog.
• 23 built-in condition types covering core (role, specific user, email, capability, first login), e-commerce (WooCommerce, EDD), LMS (LearnDash courses + groups, LifterLMS, TutorLMS, LearnPress), membership (MemberPress, Paid Memberships Pro, WooCommerce Memberships, Restrict Content Pro, Ultimate Member, WishList Member, MemberMouse, ProfilePress).

New — Avatar style designer

• Five quick presets — BuddyBoss (recommended), Minimal, Bold ring, Gradient, Hexagon.
• Live preview that mirrors how the avatar will look in a real nav menu while you tweak.
• Size, shape (circle, rounded, square, hexagon), border (none, solid, gradient with angle), shadow, outer glow.
• Hover animations: scale, lift, glow pulse, subtle rotate.
• Online status dot with a custom color that sits perfectly at the avatar's corner.
• "Show user name next to avatar" toggle that uses your chosen username format and prefix.
• BuddyPress and BuddyBoss avatar systems are used automatically when active.
• Front-end CSS now neutralizes theme hover and active backgrounds, so the circular avatar isn't framed by a rectangular highlight on any theme.

New — Integrations tab

• Every supported third-party plugin is auto-detected and shown as either Active (full card with rule count) or Available to install (muted card with icon).
• Original SVG category icons for every integration, plus a drop-in path for site owners to add real brand logos.

New — Setup wizard

• Four-step guided flow on first install — Goals → Configure → Test → Done.
• Re-runnable any time from the plugin row on the Plugins screen.

New — Tools tab

• Redirect test simulator — see exactly where a given user will land before they ever log in.
• JSON export and import of all rules and settings.
• v4 backup restore button that reverts settings and removes migrated rules in one click.
• Activity log moved into Tools → Advanced (cleaner default view).

New — Documentation tab

• Task-oriented walk-throughs written in plain English: add a rule, set fallbacks, add menu items, common recipes, use with other plugins, URL placeholders, test a redirect, hide the admin bar, restore v4 backup, get help.
• Sticky table-of-contents sidebar so you can jump between sections.

New — Form login bridges

• Gravity Forms (User Registration add-on), WPForms (User Registration add-on), and Elementor Pro Login widget all hand off to the unified rules engine, so login forms outside wp-login.php redirect correctly too.

New — Reliable confirmation dialog

• Destructive actions (delete a rule, restore a v4 backup) now use a polished, branded confirmation modal instead of the native browser confirm box. Keyboard-friendly (Esc to cancel, Enter to confirm).

Migration — Zero breakage

• v4 options are backed up to lmsc_rsum_options_v4_backup the first time v5 loads.
• Every existing role-based, membership-based, and global redirect rule is converted into the unified Rules list automatically.
• Migration runs once, is idempotent, and is fully reversible from Tools.

Removed

• Health score card on the old Getting Started tab (replaced by the cleaner Rules dashboard).
• Old multi-section "Redirect Engine" with seven separate accordions.
• Dropdown menu builder (the avatar menu item now handles BuddyBoss-style display directly).
• Font Awesome helper, scheduled menu visibility, capability/device menu visibility (rolled into the unified rules system).
• Remote diagnostics module and daily heartbeat (no outbound calls from the plugin).
• Email subscribe / newsletter card.
• External Google Fonts on the settings page (system fonts now).
