I'd like the form fields on /wp-login.php included in my theme's header.php. I could just copy the source selectively, but I imagine there's a cleaner way to include the form.
Bonus: What's the best way to check if the user's logged in (using a PHP if statement, I guess) and replace this form with a sort of "Hello, {name} | [Logout] | My Account" line?
First question: Just make the same form fields as the login form has. Here's the basics of it:
<form action="wp-login.php" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="log" id="user_login" class="input" />
Password:<input type="password" name="pwd" id="user_pass" class="input" />
<input type="hidden" name="testcookie" value="1" />
<input name="rememberme" type="checkbox" id="rememberme" value="forever" /> Remember Me
<input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit" value="Log In" />
</form>If you like, you can add a field to the form to tell the login where to redirect the user afterwards, like back to the homepage:
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>" />
Bonus Question:
The $user_ID global will be set when the user is logged in and won't be set when they're not.
<?php global $user_ID; if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
Hello <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a> | <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout" title="Log out">Log out</a>
<?php endif; ?>

OK, thank you very much. The only part that isn't working is
<?php echo $user_identity; ?>
It's returning a blank value when I'm logged in.

Sorry to nag, but one more quick question. Is there a GET argument or something similar I can provide to redirect a logged-out user to the homepage instead of /wp-login.php?
Make sure you're using the global $user_identity instead of a local one. Forgot about that bit.
global $user_identity;
Redirecting the logout: Add redirect_to=http://whatever to the request to redirect them somewhere else. Like so:
<a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>" title="Log out">Log out</a>

Damn you PHP and your lack of clear namespaces :^)
I always hate the hassle of declaring globals like this.
Thanks for the help!
