Small personalization lifts conversion. [arraysubs_visibility] shows or hides content by login state, [arraysubs_user] greets members by name (with a fallback for guests), and [arraysubs_login]/[arraysubs_logout] render the right link. This recipe personalizes headers, CTAs, and widgets.

What you get
  • Show guests a login CTA and members a greeting.
  • Greet members by name with a guest fallback.
  • Render correct login/logout links automatically.
  • Personalize headers, landing pages, and widgets.

Login/logout links hide themselves automatically based on the current login state.
