Hi,

How is it possible to change the default link on the theme header login, after the user has logged in. Like to add a link to a custom my account page.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hello Sebastian!

I’m not sure if I understand well what you need to achieve. Could you please provide a screenshot and more information about what you need to achieve?

Thank you!

Hi Bettina,

Sorry for the late reply, I forgot to check to be notified by email. Here below is a screenshot with the area I’m referring too. The link on the user name there is not editable, it points to his author page or something similar, which is not helping, and I would like it to link to a custom “My Account” page. Is it now more clear what I’m looking for?

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hello Sebastian!

You should modify the code in the following file: td-standard-pack/Newspaper/parts/header/top-menu.php ; line 43
Or you can contact our custom work team here: https://tagdiv.com/premium-customization-services/

Thank you!

Hi Bettina,

What if I want to change the link on the logged in user name, as per above, but within a cloud header template (like in Header Template 7)?

Thanks!

Sebastian

Hello Sebastian!

You can change the url from wp-content\plugins\td-cloud-library\shortcodes\header\tdb_header_user.php 385 line

Hope that helps you!

Thank you!

Hi Bettina,

That worked nicely on the desktop version of the theme, thank you, but on the mobile version, in the popup with the mobile menu, the link of the user name shown above is not changed. How I could change the link also in the mobile menu popup?

Cheers!

Sebastian

Hello Sebastian!

For the mobile menu when you are logged, you need to change this link from wp-content\plugins\td-composer\legacy\Newspaper\parts\logged.php 8 line

Thank you!

Great this works. I am able to change the user URL to my account page in header. Pls kindly help with adding the option inside the tagdiv element. i.e. we should have options to choose between user profile or user my account page.

Because this manual configuration will get overridden after any new update of the theme.

Any update on this feature? Has this been implemented? If not, please consider adding the ability to modify the link URL for the author’s name in the header login.

Hello, the login modal sanitizes the email field, so a user can’t register with a ‘plus’ in the address like user+something@email.com. (Plus addressing or Sub-addressing) This is not RFC 5322 compliant, so we either need to send users to the default WP form, or have it modified so it becomes compliant with standards.

Example: https://avbrief.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/plus-addressing-modal.jpg

Can this be corrected with a child theme file?

Better yet, can TagDiv correct the problem and stop enforcing an arbitrary rule that doesn’t exist in the actual email standard or in WordPress core?

Hi omarfilip,

The theme module is configured to allow login using either the username or the email address (not both at the same time), as shown in your screenshot. As long as one of these is used, the login should work correctly.
Regarding applying changes in the child theme, this is only possible when using a standard header. If a cloud header is in use, it cannot be overridden via the child theme.

Thank you!

Calin, as you can see from the screenshot, the account creation prohibits the use of an email address with a plus sign in it.

Hello,
Sorry, I misunderstood it. If you are referring to when a user creates an account, you can set the username and email on the same field for email registration and separate them with + +. Unfortunately, the model from the image does not have that option. Still, you can use the element “Page login/register” https://i.imgur.com/CKLfaL0.png. This element can be set with the tagDiv Composer in a page that will be used for login and registration. You can combine it with the element menu login that allows you to set the links for login/register pages – https://i.imgur.com/fOUowam.png. To use those elements, you need to have the tagDiv Opt-in Builder plugin installed and activated.
Thank you!
