I have the following script which allows people to log into my site. The script works well, no issues there, but after you login the script shows the login info and some links. It shows the link to the user profile as the username, I want simply to change the output to read "Profile" instead of reading the username. How can I do this without killing the link, etc?

This is in wordpress. I have set up a dummy account To see it in person go to www.ex-brief.com

Username: help
Password: help

You should ask for help from wordpress. Try this

PHP Code:

form name="login-form" id="login-form"
 action="<?php get_option('home') ?>/wp-login.php" method="post"><input
 size="15" name="log" id="user_login"
 value="Username"
 onfocus="if (this.value == 'Username') {this.value = '';}"
 onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Username';}"><input
 size="15" name="pwd" id="user_pass" class="input"
 value="" type="password">
<!--<input name="rememberme" type="checkbox" id="rememberme" value="forever" />-->
  <p><input name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit"

</div> </ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/wp-signup.php?action=lostpassword">Sign Up</a> | <a href="/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Lost Password?</a><br>

        <br /><br /><br /><div id="logout-link">

      <td style="vertical-align: middle; horizontal-align: center; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">
            <?php bp_loggedinuser_avatar_thumbnail( 50, 50 ) ?><br />

                / <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(site_url()) ?>" alt="<?php _e( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) ?></a> </div>
<?php */ ?>

            <a href="#">Profile</a>
            <?php else : ?>









                <br> <a href="<?php echo site_url() . '/wp-login.php?action=logout&amp;redirect_to=' . site_url() ?>"><?php _e( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
            <?php endif; ?>
        <br /><br /><br /></div>
    <?php endif; ?>

this is the piece of code in the script that calls the username link up

<?php bp_loggedinuser_link() ?>

I want the function to be the exact same, but instead of it printing the username I just want it to print "Profile"

I asked all around wordpress, nobody has a clue.

Find where the function is and edit it.

it's not a standard Wordpress function so it will be in whatever plugin you have installed

I did not install any plugins, all I did was add that code to my page and it worked perfectly.

Well somewhere along the way somebody installed BuddyPress, because that's where the "bp_" prefixed functions are from.

yes, my bad, i wasnt thinking of BP as a plugin, but it truly is. I tried the guys, including the author of Buddypress, Andy P. Nobody over there has the answer either. Was hoping there was some way to do it with html or something simple.

it's in bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php BTW

looking at the code and without too much dissecting

PHP Code:

function bp_loggedinuser_link() {
    global $bp, $current_user;
    
    if ( $link = bp_core_get_userlink( $bp['loggedin_userid'] ) ) {
        echo apply_filters( 'bp_loggedinuser_link', $link );
    } else {
        $ud = get_userdata($current_user->ID);
        echo apply_filters( 'bp_loggedinuser_link', $ud->user_login );
    }
} 


change $link for the text you want to display

will that kill the link? I need the link to remain the same, just the text that the link says to be changed to Profile.
