 * Hi,
 * I would like to change the TML sidebar widget’s page title from “Welcome, <username
   >” to just “<username>”. I followed the instructions in this thread [, but using this method also seems to change the sidebar widget’s “logout” link to whatever you have set as the page title.](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-theme-my-login-how-to-change-the-sidebar-widgets-welcome-greeting?replies=5)
 * Can anyone point me in the right direction as i am having no luck searching for
   a solution?
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * I used your code, and it does change the title, but it removes the username and
   also changes the logout link. Have a look at my screenshot [here](http://www.bluebullet.com.au/images/Capture.jpg)
 * Could this be a theme related issue?
 * Thanks

 * This should do it:
 *     ```
       function tml_title( $title, $action ) {
       	if ( is_user_logged_in() && 'login' == $action )
       		$title = sprintf( 'Hi, %s', wp_get_current_user()->display_name );
       	return $title;
       }
       add_filter( 'tml_title', 'tml_title', 10, 2 );
       ```
