    Hello,

    Just wondering how you set up your templates to include a welcome note to all visitors once they’ve logged in. That is, when logged in, they see…

    Welcome, <name>!

    I tried adding {name} and {author_name}. I read in the EE Guide User Notes section that you have to sacrifice your Breadcrumb template. Could someone explain it in layman’s terms, please? I *just* got a Personal licence so that’s why I’m slow.

    I use this in whatever template I want a greeting…
    {if logged_in}
    Welcome Back {screen_name}
    {/if}
