   I've added this code to display the links for log in/log out, and register/site admin.

   <?php wp_loginout(); ?>

   <?php wp_register(); ?>

   The problem I'm having is the html those commands generate has the text displayed as a list item.

   <li><a href="http://www.myblogsurl.com/wp-admin/">Site Admin</a></li>

   How can I stop it from making these list items and just only display the link as regular text?
   I'm not the best with php and checked over my theme's function code a few times unable to find the problem.
   I'm assuming it's how wordpress automatically generates these.

   You can amend the output of wp_register but not wp_loginout. Your best option would be to re-style those lists using CSS.

   Hai esmi, Are you suggesting to edit the wp_register() function? If so: wp_register() would be in general-template.php which is a WP core file. Editing core files is dangerous, because the changes could be overwritten when upgrading WP.
   What you can do, is to call wp_register() with arguments like this:

   <?php wp_register( '', '' ); ?>

   This way you'll get rid of the li tags. Or you can call the function with tags of your liking:

   <?php wp_register( '<div class="register">', '</div>' ); ?>

   Next you'll go and CSS the tag.

   (also see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register).

   Regards,
   Fino
