People who sign in rarely forget their password, and reset emails cost you sign-ins.
The Login & Signup block in Nexter Blocks Pro can email a one-click login link instead.
For every Login & Signup setting in one place, see the Login & Signup block guide.
Before You Start
- Edition: Pro — the Login & Signup block is part of Nexter Blocks Pro.
- Block to enable: Login & Signup, switched on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard.
- Working email on your site: the block sends account emails through WordPress, so use an SMTP plugin to keep them out of spam.
Steps
- Add the Login & Signup block to your page and click Design from Scratch.
- In the Forms panel, set Type to Login.
- Choose a Layout: Inline Form shows the form on the page, Button opens it from a toggle button.
- Open the Login tab, click + Add Field and choose Magic Link in the Field dropdown.
- In Content, write the link text shown on the form, such as Email me a login link.
- Set the Label and Placeholder for the email box, and the Button Text.
- Write the Subject and Email Message, using the shortcodes below.
- In Select Page, choose where people land after clicking the link, then save.
Shortcodes for the Email
| Shortcode | What it inserts |
|---|---|
| [tpgb_sitename] | Your site name |
| [tpgb_username] | The user name of the account |
| [tpgb_link] | The one-time login link |
How It Behaves
- The visitor clicks your magic link text, types their email address and asks for a link.
- The email arrives with your subject and message, and the link signs them in and sends them to the page you chose.
- Each link is generated for that request, so it cannot be reused endlessly.
Limitations
- Pro only.
- The email address must belong to an existing account.
- Without SMTP the email may be delayed or filtered as spam, and the visitor cannot sign in this way.
Troubleshooting
No email arrives
Send a test email from your SMTP plugin, then try again. Check the spam folder as well.
The link does not sign the visitor in
Ask them to open the newest email. Older links stop working once a newer one is requested.
