I am finding difficulty in returning the wp_login_form() and register link at the same time.

Here is my code which i am working to make shortcode. How to send the login_form and register link if user is not logged in?

function add_login_form() {
    if(!is_user_logged_in()){
        return wp_login_form();
    }
    else {
        return;
    }
}

The function wp_register will display the register link if the user isn't logged in.

Edit:

Here's the code:

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
{
    return wp_login_form( 'echo=0' ) . wp_register( '', '', false );
}

I tried using wp_register() in the above code but after adding it box disappeared. :/ – Ryu Aug 22 '12 at 17:09
Just updated the code with example – Rilwis Aug 22 '12 at 17:16
That's an invalid shortcode, shortcodes expect their html returned, you're not meant to output it directly during the function – Tom J Nowell Aug 22 '12 at 17:16
@TomJNowell, thanks. Just updated the code. I didn't notice the 'shortcode' :). – Rilwis Aug 22 '12 at 17:18

Your shortcode is already broken. wp_login_form doesn't return a html string containing a login form. Instead it prints it out directly to the screen.

Instead do this:

function add_login_form() {
    if(!is_user_logged_in()){
        $html = wp_login_form(array('echo'=>false)).' '.wp_register('','',false);
        return $html;
    }
    else {
        return;
    }
}

I've added wp_register to add the registration link, and I've also modified the arguments to return rather than echo out the markup

Hi tom, is it possible to add link this way? <a href="example.com/wp-login.php?action=register">Register</…; – Ryu Aug 22 '12 at 17:59
Have you actually read my answer? It adds a registration link as asked. – Tom J Nowell Aug 22 '12 at 20:26
I have actually tested your code. When i run that shortcode it shows nothing on the page than loginbox. So that is why I asked that question. :/ – Ryu Aug 23 '12 at 6:42
It does work, wp_register only returns a value if registration is allowed. Go into your settings and turn it on – Tom J Nowell Aug 23 '12 at 9:02
