I want to show text in the member header that welcomes the user if they’re viewing their own profile. So when looking at their own profile, it says “Welcome, [name]!”, and if they view another user’s profile, it just says [name] in the same spot.

I have it so the system checks if the user is logged in, but I need to take it one step further to check if the profile matches the logged in user.

Here’s what I have now (php calls removed because I can’t get backticks to work):

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :
Welcome,
endif;
bp_displayed_user_fullname()

How can I change that first if statement to check the logged in user’s identity against the active profile page?

RESOLVED. Here’s the updated code if others are looking for a similar solution:

if ( bp_is_home() ) :
Welcome,
endif;
bp_displayed_user_fullname()

bp_is_my_profile() is the function you’re looking for.

if ( bp_is_my_profile() )
echo ‘hello logged in user who is looking at their own profile!’;
