   Hi all,

   I am trying to display the Howdy (Changed to 'Welcome Back')Message on my home page - I am using the code from admin-header.php

   <div id="user_info">
   <p><?php printf(__('Welcome Back, <a href="%1$s" title="Edit your profile">%2$s</a>'), 'profile.php', $user_identity) ?> |
   <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url() ?>" title="<?php _e('Log Out') ?>"><?php _e('Log Out'); ?></a></p>
   </div>

   It displays the "Welcome Back" but no username - I am signed in as a user?

   Do I need to add a call to $user_identity? Would anyone know how to do this.

   Thanks, Joe

   Try:

   <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :
   global $current_user;
   get_currentuserinfo(); ?>
   <div id="user_info">
   <p>Welcome Back, <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php" title="Edit your profile"><?php echo $current_user->display_name;?></a> |
   <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url() ?>" title="<?php _e('Log Out') ?>"><?php _e('Log Out'); ?></a></p>
   </div>
   <?php endif;?>

   Slightly modified and working perfect

   <?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo 'Welcome Back ' . $current_user->user_firstname . "\n";?>

   Is there a way to apply a style sheet to the output?

   This is outputing perfectly

   <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url() ?>" title="<?php _e('Log Out') ?>"><?php _e('Log Out'); ?></a>
