Examples

0

#1 Display a link to the admin panel or registration page

The link will be wrapped in <li> tag:

wp_register();
/* output: 
<li>
	<a href="/wp-admin/">Site Admin</a>
</li>
*/
0

#2 Without "before" and "after" text

This example will output a link without a wrapping <li> tag:

<?php wp_register('', ''); ?>

In the result, we will get this link if not logged in:

<a href="http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=register">Register</a>

Or this one if logged in:

<a href="http://example.com/wp-admin/">Site Admin</a>
