Hi,
I want to move the Sign In/Join to the menu bar, so that it scrolls with the rest of the menu as the page is scrolled down. I’m currently using Header Style 8 (Hybrid 2). Is this possible? I also have the Custom Newspaper 6 Login Widget install from this forum. Basically I want to move it from Top Menu to the main menu so that user can bring up the login/register box any time.
Hello panorev,
The login widget code is located here: http://screencast.com/t/1WbmtR7EO1ZS. it starts at ‘//show login widget’, all the way down to ‘//end login window’.
You need to remove this code from here and place it in ‘header-menu.php’. Just make sure to paste it inside the php tag: http://screencast.com/t/0lNGWYdxd2M
The result: http://screencast.com/t/TqjHfxFc
You will also need a bit of css to position it after moving it.
Thank you!
Hello Bogdan,
Is there an update for the menu location fix which you describe in this thread? I’m using Newspaper v7.4 and the shift of login code didn’t work for me. Nothing additional was displayed on the header menu.
Thanks
Hi,
The same method applies, only things have been changed a bit now. The code is much smaller: http://screencast.com/t/e1z0QzKE I tested this on the current version and it works just as it did above.
Thank you!
I followed all directions but no login appears.
See attached screenshot.
You may have a strong cache on your site and that is why you are not seining any changes. Please make sure you clear all caching and the cdn files if you use it. I have personally tested this and it works as I have shown in my previous reply. Simply copy that code and paste it as the original replay instructs.
Thank you!
I cleared caches and also worked through all the menu styles. I found that the login would appear when using styles 1,3,5,7,8,10,and 11. But not 4,5,6 unless I deleted the logo image.
I’m trying to create a menu bar that’s short in height and includes the menu tabs plus the Login on one line. When the Login appears above the main menu row of text, its almost as high as including the original top menu bar.
I tried shifting the PHP login widget code after the menu code in the ‘header-menu.php’ file but it didn’t shift the login text to the right side.
I’m now testing some Login plugins to see if I can get a menu bar about 45 px high that includes a login.
I have another question related to the loading of the menu and all the site pages. When a menu tab is clicked why does the menu always flash load the default black-blue colors first, and then replace with my chosen custom colors? The menu font also goes to bold then back to the normal capitalized which I have selected in the Newspaper settings.
Also why do the pages always flash and completely reload when each new pages is opened?. It seems that some pre-loading is required or there’s a coding loop somewhere that double loads the menu, the background image, and the pages.
Could you suggest a fix? It’s distracting as is.

Hello,
In order to use the default login of the theme you will have to remove all of the customization added to the theme and to the main menu and simply activate the top bar. There cannot be any login without the site top bar.
As for the css loading in sequences, this is the way that css works. If there are too many rewrites to the original css, it will load slower. If you want to avoid this, you will have to uninstall the demo style, use the default and simply change colors in the thee panel because in your cese the theme grabs the default colors that are rewriten by the demo and are rewritten again by your own customization. You must try to reduce the rewrites to the css as much as possible.
Thank you!
