Now use current_user.is_authenticated() to make the logout() link only show to authenticated users and the login()

I dont know what is wrong here

I doubt you're still waiting on an answer to this old question, but for the benefit of other readers the problem appears to be from two issues:

  • the code has each link twice, one outside and another inside the conditional code
  • the conditional version links are all missing the display text

Happy coding!
