By simply adding this widget to the sidebar it displays a list of links that solve this issue as seen in the image bellow.

Login Solutions asked by Mr. Sossou for WAMA website 6 years, 5 months agoThe first and most practical solution i believe is to simply add a custom link in the main menu that takes the user straight to the login page.
