 * I need to place the “wp-loginout” function in the top right corner of the “header”
   section in the “twenty twenty-one” theme. Currently I can insert this function
   as a block inside the page, however in this theme there is no access to edit 
   the “header” section. Is there a way to place this?

 * Hi [@jaumenik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaumenik/) – there are a couple
   of steps to adding a login/logout link in the header in this classic theme.
 * **Step 1** – [create a child theme](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/).
   This ensures that your theme-file changes won’t be overwritten every time there’s
   a theme update. (There are also several [child-theme plugins](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/child+theme/)
   if you don’t want to create it manually.)
 * **Step 2** – in your child theme, place the function where you want it to be 
   displayed.
 * Let me know how it goes or if you need more detailed help.
