Hi,
One of my project, i use Wordpress and Discourse. I want to create a link for Wordpress user profiles. I connected login system with SSO between Wordpress and Discourse. So i want to create a dynamic link like that: `site.com/members/users/discourseusername`
There are two conditions here.
If user is not logged in link must seems like that:
`site.com`
If user logged in, link must seems like that:
`site.com/members/users/discourseusername`
And idea?

You can try something like this:
```plaintext
```
This gives you `link` as a variable that you can use as the `href` of a dynamic link.

Thanks @Johani I want to use that link for logo. How can we adapt?
How can i use that in a href tag?

Sure, you can do that by adding
```plaintext
api.changeWidgetSetting('home-logo', 'href', link);
```
just before the close tag for the script like so:
```plaintext
```
Do note however that this is probably **not a good idea.**
You’re better off adding the link to the header as opposed to changing the logo. On every website I visit, my expectation is that clicking the logo will either take you to the homepage or to the top of the current page. I would find the change you’re trying to accomplish a bit annoying.
Try something like this instead:
```plaintext
```
to add an icon with the dynamic link in the header like so:
You can then hide that icon for non-logged in users if you want with:
```plaintext
.anon .wordpress-profile {
display: none;
}
```
or you can keep it, depending on what icon you choose.

I totally agree with you about that. But it’s not my own project and project’s owner wanted it.

That’s a really good idea. And it works great.
You explained everything. Thank you for your help! 🙂
By the way, how i can learn Discourse API terms like “Discourse.User.current();” and “api.decorateWidget”? Could you suggest a resource?

For now you can have a look at some of the pluginAPI examples [here](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/plugin-api.js.es6).
However, we also have more structured theme developer documentation coming out very soon. 👍
