 * I’m quite a newbie in PHP, I can only manage simple stuff, and this is giving
   me a really big headache.
 * I’d like to make this piece of code:
 *     ```
       <?php edit_post_link( __( 'Editar', 'fcwk' ), '<span class="sep"> | </span><span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
       ```
   
 * …work only when a user is logged in, so it would be inside of this other piece
   of code:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { } ?>
       ```
   
 * Thanks in advance! 🙂

 * the ‘edit’-link is hidden ahyway for not-logged-in users – why do you want to
   add more code?

   > allowed to edit the post.

 * I’m sorry, I missed a little part!
    Here we go again:
 *     ```
       <div class="entry-meta">
       <?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'fcwk' ), '<span class="sep"> | </span><span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Maybe now rings another bell 😛
    I need to make the hole thing disappear, because
   that’s the only way in which my design will stay the way I want it to stay 🙂

 * OMG! I feel so stupid now xP I got so into it that I didn’t realize I could solve
   it so easily! Thank you so much alchymyth! 🙂
 * And just for extra-learning… is there any way to concatenate the whole thing 
   using just one “<?php…>?”?

 * try to add the html into the ‘before’ and ‘after’ parameters of the ‘edit_post_link()’
   code;
 * example (ths replaces the whole 5 lines from my last reply):
 *     ```
       <?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'fcwk' ), '<div class="entry-meta"><span class="sep"> | </span><span class="edit-link">', '</span></div>' ); ?>
       ```

 * Wow! Another great idea!
    Thanks a lot for everything alchymyth! Hope to see 
   around 🙂
