For anyone who cares/ might find this useful for future reference, the complete code I inserted into the head is:

<?php  if (is_user_logged_in()) {
          $user = wp_get_current_user();
          echo 'Welcome, <strong>'.$user->display_name.'</strong> ';

echo  '| <a href="https://www.corkstudentnews.com/wp-admin/post-new.php" target="_blank">Write a Post </a>';

echo  '| Edit  <a href="https://www.corkstudentnews.com/wp-admin/profile.php" target="_blank">user profile </a>';

echo  '| <a href="https://www.corkstudentnews.com/wp-login.php?action=logout" >Logout</a>';

                        } else { ?>
          <b>Hi visitor!</b> Please <b><a href="https://www.corkstudentnews.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=/">login</a></b>  to write a post</strong>
          or <b><a href="https://www.corkstudentnews.com/wp-login.php?action=register" target="_blank">register</a></b> to become a member.
          <?php } ?>

Problem solved but I just wanted to show the answer in case anyone else was interested.

Hi,<?php global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
echo ‘User first name: ‘ . $current_user->user_firstname . “\n”;
?>

would be the first bit.

ah ok i guess ill just have to get with the times and upgrade then. no point hanging around on 2.9 for too much longer!!!

thanks esmi,

i’m absolutely crazy for the little things though and its not the same in the old one (even blue).

i know this seems ridiculous but its a fairly big website and i spend about 1-2 hours every day of my life working in the backend I want it to look the way i want it to!!!!

so to come back to my original question would there by any way of exporting the 2.9’s admin css file and uploading it to the 3.0 install?

thanks – worked

understand the php but where do i add it to?

ooh looks fancy. thanks

hey,

i don’t have a dashboard admin panel in my version of wordpress for somee reason, so my only way of editing the plugin is via the code.

i’m trying to get ride of the dropdown but it’s not working. do you know what code I have to take out?

hi esmi,

Could you explain that in a bit more detail please; I’m not the webmaster of the site but have admin access and a good working knowledge

hey zeo, thanks for writing back. yeah the weird thing is that i’ve tried that and it makes no difference? as in when i delete the wp_links_pages() alltogether it’s still there?

Pagination links (pages within a post) are appearing both at the top and bottom of my posts. Is there any way to delete the top instance and leave the bottom.

Examples:

yeah I know how to paginate posts but to make it so that every post automatically paginates without any user intervention after, say, a specific word-count?
