Are you looking for a way to add a login button to your WordPress header menu? A login button gives registered users direct access to their accounts without navigating away from the page. You can do this using the Login & Signup block from Nexter Blocks, which can be added to any page or template, including the header.

**Best Used For:**

- Sites with membership, subscriptions, or registered user accounts

- Headers where you want a login toggle without a full separate login page

- Layouts that need both login and registration access in one place

To do this, open the header template.

> *Note: You can use the [Nexter Builder](https://nexterwp.com/docs/nexter-theme-builder-explained/) to create the header.*

Then add the block beside your header menu, and go to **Forms** > **Type** and select **Login** or **Login & Register**.

Then select **Button** from the **Layout** section.

This will add a toggle login form button on the header, which users can use to log in without leaving the page.

You can also set a limit on failed login attempts to reduce unauthorized access. See [How to Limit Failed Login Attempts in WordPress](https://nexterwp.com/docs/limit-login-attempts-in-wordpress/).
