How do you implement the login/sign up feature?

Hey there, 

 

Im using the WordPress builder with EED to build my site and I cant seem to figure out how to get a signup/sign-in button connected and working with EED. I have a header made and an icon made for the sign in. But how do I connect to actually pop up a login? Or at the very least go to a login page? And once logged in, how do I make it so that "sign-in" button now becomes a "Hi, Customer" text instead or a "My Profile" button? 

Thanks!

  Thanks! I checked it out, it helped with the first part of the question but didn't answer the other questions. Once logged in, how do I make it so that the "sign-in" button now becomes a "Hi, Customer" text instead, or a "View Profile" button? 

   

  Also, on the login page, how do I implement a user registration feature in case the person does not have an account yet?

   

  Thank you

  Hi,

  Unfortunately, it isn't possible, at the moment, to hide for the log-in user an element and display another one. Therefore, you can't show for the log-in user the "Hi, customer", instead of the Sing-in/Log-in button.

  In general, the log-in page works with the WordPress credentials of the user, therefore, a simple site visitor can't sign-in because he can't create a user for itself in your WP site. Therefore, you have to create it by yourself, this is WordPress :).

  Best regards,
  Sandra
