I feel like a big fat NEWBIE! Can you give me a hand?

I'm trying to figure out how I can add a welcome message to my wordpress website that only guests can see and after they register it will vanish and set a cookie. =)

I don't really know php or echo if that is whats needed and I was wondering if someone knows of a script to use.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    One solution is described at Showing "anycontent.php" to Unregistered Members / Guests - however it will require you to modify the appropriate template in your wordpress theme.

    Good luck!

    Thank you for the reply, I will probably just go with a pop-up that displays registration options one time so I don't have to mess with the theme code. I'm sure down the road I can start learning programming if I really want to but for now I just want to make money.

    Cheers

    I can show you how to do it with about 4 lines of code. But when I try and post it here (even with the code tags) it times out the page. If you're not shy about posting your email address I can send you the code.

    This requires Sessions and cookies. Not too hard to do. Have it done on Odesk for $40. Or, heck, have your developer make it into a plugin for $300.

    Spencer at Niche Pursuits has something like this. Is that what you were looking for?

    I wrote a plugin called Kazoo Templated Content that would allow you to do do the content hide/show portion of this. It allows you to code against the wordpress api using html templates that are either typed inline like normal wordpress content or stored in a database table and retrieved with a shortcode. I have some examples of AndrewFriedl.com and I will also answer questions schedule permitting. It's a complex and powerful plugin but it's not targeted at the drag and drop crowd.

    The plugin is free and on the Wordpress repository.

    Good luck.
