Show different message to logged in and non logged in users on particular post type wordpress

Question

I have a question-answer plugin installed so the post type is example.com/question/ I want to show the message just below the post content it should say "Login or Register" to non logged in users and welcome to logged-in users

Answer 1

Try adding this code to your theme where applicable:

if (is_user_logged_in()) {
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    echo 'Welcome ' . esc_html($current_user->display_name);
} else {
    // Save current page url for redirect after login (optional):
    global $wp;
    $redirect = home_url($wp->request);

    echo '<a href="' . esc_url(wp_login_url($redirect)) . '">Login or Register</a>';
}

Also: WordPress has a native function for that - wp_loginout(): https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_loginout/ It won't show the welcome message off the box, but will give logged in users the option to log out instead.
