I thought I got this to work once, but now the links do not work. This is exactly what i need, no fancy plug ins, just a simple link that will show the user name.
thanks for any tips to get this to work.

thx, will give this a try. I’ve been meaning to get the login out of the sidebar for ages as it takes up too much room and I’d rather use that space for something else.

Hi Glen,
Thanks for publishing this. It was a great help actually helping me use the get_currentuserinfo() function. I couldn’t work this out from the WordPress Function Reference site. I’ll try creating a login as well. Thank you too Sean!
Best regards,
Zephyr

Hi, I recently started a bloghosting platform (based on wordpress MU) and when I stumbled your blog I paid attention to your theme (looking good) so I was wondering can you tell me is it custom made theme or one of those free ones? thanks in advance! regards, blogiskewl

A minute’s success pays the failure of years.

There is actually no need to write your own login url either. WP has a function for that. “wp_login_url()”. Also, both the login_url and logout_url functions give you the option to pass in the redirect parameter, so you don’t need to append it to the end of the function.

So your login would look like:
wp_login_url(“/”);

And logout would look like:
wp_logout_url(“/”);

Hope that helps.

How bizarre – I’ve literally just sent off a proposal for a membership WP site, and this will be of massive help.
