   Hello,
   I'm wondering if there is a template tag or other way to create a greeting to site visitors after they have logged in. For example "Welcome Back NickName!" Where the nickname is the user's.

   I've looked through the list of tags but I don't see any, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

   This could be useful.

   I haven't been able to find the tag either....
   You could check for a register plug-in and copy their code as well.

   sorry for the poor help.

   This bit of PHP will do the trick in a theme or something.
   

   if (is_user_logged_in()) {
   // user is logged in, say welcome back
   $user = wp_get_current_user();
   echo 'Welcome back '. $user->display_name . '!';
   } else {
   // user is not logged in
   echo 'Hello Mr. Anonymous!';
   }
