Hey guys i installed bbpress now and want to display something in the header of my page. If the user isnt logged in i want to display “Register | Login”. If he is there should just displayed: “Hello, Username”. Does someone hava a solution? I think my php skills are enough for this but i dont know the variables or functions. I watched in the documentation but there a just a few functions displayed? Or did i watched on a false page?

Well this is now my solution. Seems ok

<?php
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
    wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'Register or Login' ) ); 
}  
else {
    global $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();
    $current_user->user_login;
				
    echo "Logged in as: ";?>                
    <a href="<?php echo get_edit_user_link(); ?>">
        <?php echo $current_user->user_login; ?>
    </a>				
<?php }	?>

Oh good – I have this in a header – it’s about the same but $user_identity is the display name rather than the login. This explains the different global variables from get_currentuserinfo() – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo . Just in case you want the full reference – I hadn’t really looked at it before and noticed we used different variables and wondered why and thought you might be interested too. 🙂

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
  <span class="break-me">
  Welcome, 
  <?php 
	global $user_identity;
	get_currentuserinfo();
	printf('%s', $user_identity); ?>! 
  </span>
  <span class="break-me">
	<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( get_permalink() ); ?>" title="Logout">Log out?</a> &bull; <a href="<?php echo bbp_get_user_profile_url(get_current_user_id()); ?>" name="Your profile and posts">Your profile</a> 
  </span>
<?php } ?>
