{% if current_user.is_authenticated %}

To save someone time, be sure to turn off 'Browser Cookie Blockers' or 'Brave Shields' or anything similar.

I was having trouble setting {% if current_user.is_authenticated %} to True to show the username on the webpage.

Hope this helps someone!

This is relevant to this code in layouts.html:

<div class="grid-33">
<!-- Say Hi -->

<h1>Hello{% if current_user.is_authenticated %} {{ current_user.username }} {% endif %}</h1>

</div>

            <div class="grid-33">

                <!-- Log in/Log out -->
                {% if current_user.is_authenticated %}
                <a href="{{ url_for('logout') }}" class="icon-power" title="Log out">Log Out</a>
                {% else %}
                <a href="{{ url_for('login') }}" class="icon-power" title="Log in">Log In</a>
                <a href="{{ url_for('register') }}" class="icon-profile" title="Register">Register</a>
                {% endif %}
            </div>

          </div>

        </header>
