Add login to wordpress header

[oneofayykind]

So here is what I'm trying to do. I'm using Wordpress. I have added a Login and Register link to my header along with an avatar box next to it like you would see next to someones comment. What I would like to have happen is after someone logs in that default avatar box update to their own avatar (if they have one or show the default avatar if they don't) and then not show the login and register links anymore and instead show a link to their profile.

Did you look to see if there's a plugin that can do this?

Use the following code to add a login form to your wordpress theme

 

<?php if (!(current_user_can('level_0'))){ ?>
<h2>Login</h2>
<form action="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_login), 1) ?>" size="20" />
<input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="20" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="button" />
    <p>
       <label for="rememberme"><input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" type="checkbox" checked="checked" value="forever" /> Remember me</label>
       <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" />
    </p>
</form>
<a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Recover password</a>
<?php } else { ?>
<h2>Logout</h2>
<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); ?>">logout</a><br />
<a href="http://XXX/wp-admin/">admin</a>
<?php }?>

 

Thanks
