php function for logged in user

Hi all, I have been taking lots of classes here but am still new to php. I build mostly in wordpress.

I am trying to change an existing plugin to NOT show page content if a user is logged in.
I have found the is_user_logged_in function in the wordpress codex: example: 

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    echo 'Welcome, registered user!';
} else {
    echo 'Welcome, visitor!';
}
?>

I want my logged in visitor to just see  a simple 
"You are currently logged in"

Here is the template I am trying to alter:

<?php global $rcp_options, $post; ?>


<?php if( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
    <h3 class="rcp_header">
        <?php echo apply_filters( 'rcp_registration_header_logged_in', __( 'Register New Account', 'rcp' ) ); ?>
    </h3>
<?php } else { ?>
    <h3 class="rcp_header">
        <?php echo apply_filters( 'rcp_registration_header_logged_out', __( 'You are currently a member', 'rcp' ) ); ?>
    </h3>
<?php }


// show any error messages after form submission
rcp_show_error_messages( 'register' ); ?>

<form id="rcp_registration_form" class="rcp_form" method="POST" action="<?php echo esc_url( rcp_get_current_url() ); ?>">

    <?php if( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>

    <div class="rcp_login_link">
        <p><?php _e( sprintf( '<a href="%s">Log in</a> if you wish to renew an existing subscription.', rcp_get_login_url( rcp_get_current_url() ) ), 'rcp' ); ?></p>

Does anyone know what I need to replace and with what?

Thanks for your help!! Onward to more php classes....

You might look at taking this PHP track.

I don't know what is covered in the Wordpress track, but this might also be of great help to your with what you are trying to achieve.

// Your unregistered code means whatever code you want to run when an unregistered person is on that page.

is_user_logged_in() is a method called that probably returns true for logged in or false for not logged in. The ! means not. So the conditional statements are saying if person not logged in. When we suggest removing the !, we are changing the code to mean if the user is logged in. You can write your code in one of two ways. You can do an if (user is logged on) {do this} else {do that} or you can do the opposite: if (user not logged on) {do that} else {do this}

You can also chain if statements together like this if (condition 1) {do 1} elseif (condition 2) {do 2} elseif (condition 3) {do 3} else {do 4}. You have to figure out all the options you want to complete and the order that it makes sense for the program to executed them, then write the code.

Thanks! Yes, it does help. The wordpress track covers enough php to do simple things and definitely recommends taking more php. Between actually building for clients and trying to prioritize my learning, I am constantly coming up against something I know a little (but not enough) about. I keep joking that this year my learning curve is like climbing the Himalayas.

Thanks for your help. You have definitely sent me in the right direction.

I think if you change this:

<?php 
    if( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
    <h3 class="rcp_header">
?>

// to

<?php
 <?php if( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
    <h3>You are logged in</h3>
<?php } else {
// Your unregistered code here
}
?>

I think you should accomplish what you want.

HI, Thanks for your response. I am sorry to seem so obtuse. I have been trying to decipher this code for days. I had gotten to something like your description above but cannot figure out how to implement it- what do I replace or add on to. See my example below.

When I tried to add this at the top of the code, I just get "You are logged in" IN ADDITION to the form that I am actually want not to display.

There seems to be two places that use "is_user_logged_in" . One at the top like this

<?php if( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
    <h3 class="rcp_header">
        <?php echo apply_filters( 'rcp_registration_header_logged_in', __( 'Register New Account', 'rcp' ) ); ?>
    </h3>
<?php } else { ?>
    <h3 class="rcp_header">
        <?php echo apply_filters( 'rcp_registration_header_logged_out', __( 'You are currently a member', 'rcp' ) ); ?>
    </h3>
<?php }

The second in the middle like this:

    <?php if( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>

    <div class="rcp_login_link">
        <p><?php _e( sprintf( '<a href="%s">Log in</a> if you wish to renew an existing subscription.', rcp_get_login_url( rcp_get_current_url() ) ), 'rcp' ); ?></p>
    </div>

    <?php do_action( 'rcp_before_register_form_fields' ); ?>

Last question: what does // your unregistered code here mean?

Thanks for all your help. I am really trying to understand. My php class level 1 gave me enough knowledge to be able to read the php and write simple statements, but not to understand more complex conditional statements. Onward. I know what classes come next!!!
