Thanks, I was thinking it was that. Unfortunately, I'm just getting started with both PHP and jQuery. I know a little more about PHP, but not enough to figure this out on my own.
I'm going to guess that Wordpress, for instance, has some php in there that says IF logged in then some value = 1 (for true) and then in your jQuery you'd somehow go check it that variable was 1 (true) or not.
Makes sense, right? I think I got the thinking figured out, just not the coding. I was hoping someone else must have already done this and could show me an example of how it's done.
Thank you for clarifying it for me to the extent you did!
