Want to let WordPress users log in with a secure, one-click link sent to their email? The magic login link feature removes the need for a password by sending users a one-time link they click to access the site instantly.
The Login & Signup block in Nexter Blocks lets you add a magic link option to any WordPress login form. Users enter their email address, receive the login link, and access the site without typing a password.

Requirement – This block is a part of Nexter Blocks. Make sure it is installed and activated.
Best Used For:
- Membership sites where passwordless login reduces friction and abandoned login attempts
- Community portals and learning platforms where users log in infrequently and forget their password
- WooCommerce stores that want to improve account login conversion without requiring users to remember a password
To do this, add the block on the page, go to Forms > Type and select Login or Login & Signup.
Select the appropriate layout from the Layout section.
Once your form fields are ready, go to the Login tab and click the +Add Field button.
From the Field dropdown, select Magic Link.
From the Content field, customize the magic link text that appears in the form. Use this to match the button or link text to your site’s voice — for example, “Email me a login link” instead of the default text.
In the Label and Placeholder fields, add the label and placeholder text for the email input. Use a clear label like “Enter your email address” so users know what to type before they request the link.
In the Button Text field, add the text for the send button. Use an action phrase like “Send Magic Link” so users understand what clicking the button does.
From the Custom Mail section, customize the email that is sent to the user when they request a magic link. This controls the email subject and body content.
In the Subject field, write the email subject line. Use a specific subject like “Your login link for [site name]” so users recognize the email in their inbox.
In the Email Message field, write the body of the magic link email. Use the shortcodes below to insert dynamic values into the message.
- [tpgb_sitename] – Inserts your website name.
- [tpgb_username] – Inserts the user’s username.
- [tpgb_link] – Inserts the one-time magic link URL.
From the Select Page dropdown, choose a specific page where users are redirected after clicking the magic link in their email. Use this to send users directly to a dashboard, account page, or gated content area after they log in.
Note: For any email related features such as Lost your password, Magic Link etc. you have to set up SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to send emails properly. You can use the free Fluent SMTP Plugin.
To configure SMTP for your WordPress site and ensure magic link emails reach your users’ inboxes, see How to Set Up SMTP Using Gmail SMTP in WordPress.
