# php function location for swpm_mini_login shortcode

 * Hi,
    I use W3 Total Cache on my membership site. I place shortcode swpm_mini_login
   in the sidebar. Because the display of the shortcode is dynamic, W3TC cached 
   pages does not properly display user login status. i.e. even a user logged in,
   the shortcode still display the Join Us/Log in text instead of the user name.
 * W3TC support provided a solution. But it requires me to add a couple of lines
   of code to the php function of the shortcode swpm_mini_login. Can you direct 
   me where is this function located so I can make the change. Also if you can provide
   some information as how best to do this, will be much appreciated.
 * Is there a native Simple Membership solution to the problem?

 * Yes mbrsolution, the above entries are in the Rejected Cookies field in the Page
   Cache.
    W3TC caches the whole page which is a static page. But the swpm_mini_login
   shortcode is in the widget in the sidebar, and the content is dynamic to reflect
   the user login status.

 * Hi, The following shows where the code for the mini login shortcode is:
 * [https://github.com/wp-insider/simple-membership/blob/c17fcc101d8ce6bb0f95f7592069fb9279f48e63/simple-membership/classes/shortcode-related/class.swpm-shortcodes-handler.php#L117](https://github.com/wp-insider/simple-membership/blob/c17fcc101d8ce6bb0f95f7592069fb9279f48e63/simple-membership/classes/shortcode-related/class.swpm-shortcodes-handler.php#L117)
 * There is also the following filter hook available. You can potentially use this
   filter hook to override and output a customized code for the mini login:
 *     ```
       swpm_mini_login_output
       ```
   
 * On a side note: what did they recommend you to put in the code for the caching?

 * Hi [@wpinsider-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpinsider-1/),
    Thanks 
   for the information. I am trying to confirm with W3TC support to see if that 
   is how this can be done. Among other things I was told to wrap the coding of 
   the swpm_mini_login shortcode with <!– mfunc xyzsecurestring –> and <!– /mfunc
   xyzsecurestring –> for example:
 * <!– mfunc xyzsecurestring –>
 *     ```
       <?php
       class SwpmShortcodesHandler {
       	public function __construct()
       codes ….
       public function 1 (…) {…}
       public function 2 () (…) {…}
       public function xyz_show_mini_login_sc () (…) {…}
       public function 4 () (…) {…}
       public function 5 () (…) {…}
       }
       <!– /mfunc xyzsecurestring –>
       ```
   
 * I don’t see the closing tag ?>. Is it necessary? I am not a developer, so don’t
   know this syntex.
    I also don’t know how to use the hook you mentioned. A little
   direction/guidance would be appreciated.

 * Hi,
    I would like to try the hook that wp-insider mentioned in his reply. (swpm_mini_login_output)
   But I need some instructions as how to do it. Can you help?

 * The recommendation that you posted is not very clear to me so I don’t really 
   know how best to handle it. You could try adding something like the following
   to your site’s functions.php file to wrap the mini login output with their special
   string:
 *     ```
       function my_customized_mini_login( $outuput ){
           $output = '<!– mfunc xyzsecurestring –>' . $outuput . '<!– /mfunc xyzsecurestring –>';
           return $outuput;
       }
       add_filter( 'swpm_mini_login_output', 'my_customized_mini_login');
       ```
   
 * Please note that I didn’t test this code so I don’t know if it works or not. 
   I am just giving the example to show how the login shortcodes output can be wrapped
   with the string that they recommended. Normally, for custom coding tweaks, it
   is better to hire a developer who can do the customized coding and testing for
   your site’s current setup.

 * Thanks wpinsider-1. I copied your code to the function.php file in my child theme.
   I don’t know where to put the hook swpm_mini_login_output so it can be triggered.
   I put it in my sidebar as widget (text shortcode), but it just displayed the 
   actual text of the hook. Hope you don’t mind giving me another pointer.

 * [@francoc30](https://wordpress.org/support/users/francoc30/), all you have to
   do is add the mini login widget shortcode `[swpm_mini_login]`to the sidebar. 
   The shortcode will trigger the function you added to the functions.php file. 
   The following instructions can help you further.

 * Hi [@mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/),
    I am not
   talking about the shortcode [swpm_mini_login] which I already used in the sidebar
   widget. I am referring to the hook swpm_mini_login_output that wpinsider-1 suggested
   me to use. Can you pass my question to him/her please?

 * That hook is triggered from the shortcode that [@mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/)
   suggested.
 * I don’t really know what other pointers I can provide from the top of my head.
   This topic is now going beyond the scope of the free support unfortunately. You

    Thanks for your response. I appreciate your help. I’ll further
   test things out.
