Need Help or Examples of Registering Users

    I would like to set up my site so that when users return there is a text slug that says something like “Welcome back <name>” or “You are an annonymous visitor. Please click here to register.”
    My hope is to integrate this in to the sidebar, but I am in the weeds trying to figure this out. On a related note, very few people should be able to see the ‘admin’ options… how do I hide that off the sidebar?

    Thanks in advance!

    Are you using the default theme? If so check under Admin > Themes > Theme Editor > Sidebar Template. Find the part of the code that puts in the Register and Login links at the top. It’s something like this:
    <?php wp_register('', ' | '); ?> <?php wp_loginout(); ?>

    It’s already nearly what you said you wanted, in the Default theme. It only shows “Site Admin” link if you are logged-in. If you aren’t logged in, that link says “Register” instead IIRC. You can go to this part of the code and make it more of a sentence if you wish, “Please click here to <Register code>” However I don’t know how to put the User’s <name> there (I would like to know).

    Thanks… I will work on this. A related issue is discussed in another thread; it has to do with not allowing any Admin Panel access to users and not asking them to fill out more profile information. All in all, the ‘registration’ flow is pretty clunky on WP. I love the application but would like to get all of this cleaned up and more uer friendly. Any help, examples, etc. are appreciated!
