I’m quite new to WordPress and don’t quite understand one simple problem that I have come across when working with the menu tool. I simply want to have the “register” and “login” buttons when the user is not logged in, and show a “profile” and “logout” buttons when they are, and with the theme I am using the login and register buttons seem to be shown regardless of the user status.
Any help would be much appreciated. I hope I’ve explained the problem enough for you.
