Is there some combination of plugins and settings that could do that? Or do […]

For one thing, I don’t need to replace the existing login widget. But mainly, I want an area that appears as part of the front page layout, […]

On this site you can x, y, and z. Register today!” And once you sign in, it goes away. How do I do that?

And by the way, what do you call such a thing? It must have a name since it’s so common.

TIA
