## My Account Menu

With **My Account Menu** on, signed-in visitors see a dropdown in place of the form, with the user avatar, the user name in the **Format** you choose, an **Edit Profile** link, **Logout** and any **Extra Menu** items you add.

## How It Behaves

- Forms submit without reloading the page, then show your success message, the account menu, or your redirect.- Signing in with the wrong details shows your Validation Text and keeps the visitor on the form.- After 10 failed sign-in attempts from the same address within five minutes, the block asks the visitor to wait a few minutes.- New accounts get the role set in **Settings > General**.

## Limitations

- **Pro only.**- Registration forms only work when **Anyone can register** is ticked in Settings > General.- Redirect URLs must be on your own domain.- Account emails depend on your site's email setup, so use an SMTP plugin.

## Troubleshooting

### I cannot find the Login & Signup block

Go to **Nexter > Blocks**, search for Login & Signup and turn it on. The block needs Nexter Blocks Pro.

### The registration form says registration is disabled

Tick **Anyone can register** in **Settings > General** and save.

### Emails never arrive

Install an SMTP plugin and send a test email from it, then try the form again.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What do I need before adding a login and registration form in WordPress?**
A: Nexter Blocks Pro is the key requirement, because the Login & Signup block is part of the Pro edition. The other two setup checks matter just as much: turn on Login & Signup under Nexter > Blocks, and enable Anyone can register in Settings > General if you want new user signups. Since the block sends account emails through WordPress, an SMTP plugin helps keep those messages out of spam.

**Q: Why is the Login & Signup block not showing up in WordPress?**
A: The usual cause is that the block is still switched off or the site is not using Nexter Blocks Pro. In Nexter > Blocks, search for Login & Signup and turn it on. That block only exists in the Pro version, so if it is missing from the editor, the first thing to check is whether the Pro edition is active on the site.

**Q: What form types does the WordPress login & signup block support?**
A: Nexter Blocks Pro gives four form types: Login, Register, Login & Register, and Forgot Password. Login & Register is useful when you want both actions on one page as two tabs, while Forgot Password creates a standalone reset form. That split matters because it lets you keep sign-in, signup, and password recovery separate instead of forcing every visitor through one generic form.

**Q: Can I add social login or magic link sign-in to a WordPress login form?**
A: The login form supports both Social Login and Magic Link. Social Login adds Google and Facebook buttons, while Magic Link sends a one-click email login. That makes the form more flexible for users who do not want to type a password every time. The same block also supports a Redirect URL on your own domain after login.

**Q: How does the registration form handle spam and extra fields?**
A: The registration form includes several controls that help with both spam and data collection. Honeypot adds a hidden anti-spam field that only bots fill in, reCAPTCHA adds Google reCAPTCHA, and Terms & Conditions adds a consent checkbox for GDPR compliant registration. It also supports MailChimp Subscribe and ACF fields, so you can collect newsletter opt-ins or custom user data in the same form.

**Q: What happens after someone submits the login or registration form?**
A: The forms submit without reloading the page, then show either your success message, the account menu, or your redirect. Wrong login details trigger your Validation Text and keep the visitor on the form. New accounts get the role set in Settings > General, and after 10 failed sign-in attempts from the same address within five minutes, the block asks the visitor to wait a few minutes.
