User Login Links - Help Needed

[npl]

Hey,

 

In the top right hand corner of my site, http://borealtrek.com, there is a spot for users to login or register. When the user does this those links still appear. This is very redundant and kind of confusing for them. Is there any way to have it so that when they login it shows them their username which is linked to their information ect.

 

Thanks for the help!

 

This is what it looks like now.

 

This is what I want it to look like.

In your template file, put this (where appropriate):

 

<?php
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if ( 0 == $current_user->ID ) {
   ?>
Login | Register
   <?php
} else {
   ?>
"<?php echo $current_user->user_login; ?>"
   <?php
}
?>

Thank you man you did me a great favor! It all works well except for one thing. When the username shows up on the site it is not a link to the users info and ect. Any idea on how to do that?

When logged in, a user bar appears at the top of the page. You could just make this link disappear when a user is logged in.

Never mind that. I got it to work. lol I assumed html was much different from php. I did not know the two worked together.

 

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

if ( 0 == $current_user->ID ) {

?>

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

<?php

} else {

?>

<?php echo $current_user->user_login;?><a> | </a> <a href="http://borealtrek.com/wp-admin/profile.php">Settings</a>

<?php

}

?>

</li>

</ul>
