Description
Officially BrokenUpdate Sep 16, 2018: Hey all, due to changes to DeviantART's website, this code is officially broken and can no longer be purchased. My apologies to those who have purchased this code in the past, but unfortunately, it does not seem likely that this code will ever work again. Several of you pointed out DeviantART's new URL structure for profile pages as a problem, but unfortunately, the root cause is much bigger. For the curious, this profile greeting worked by using PHP curl to scrape the username of the most recent visitor from the Visitors widget of a user's profile page. However, it now appears that DeviantART pages can no longer be scraped. Perhaps there is some method around this new change, but as I am quite inactive on DA these days, this code will most likely remain dead.
View Live Version
Give each visitor to your page a customized greeting by making your own Profile Greeting. Any logged-in deviant will be greeted by name, while those browsing invisibly will simply be greeted as "visitor".
Price: 400 points or $4.50 through PayPal (note me).
NEWEST UPDATES
Due to popular demand, the following new updates have been added for v2 on May 5th, 2017:
1. Transparent background
2. Automatically centered text
3. Also works for group profiles
HOW TO USE
Please note that you must be a premium member in order to use this, as the greeting code works off the the Visitors widget.
1. Purchase the password needed to get your codes by clicking the button on the right. Make sure to extract the files from the zip folder.
2. Go to my Profile Greeting Creator page.
3. Customize your image as you wish and enter the password into the box to generate your own image.
4. Paste the HTML into any widget on your profile. Make sure to also have a Visitors widget installed with the settings as "Avatars and Text" or "Text".
RULES FOR USE:
1. Please do not send the password or the codes to anyone else. Only the person who purchased the password may use the codes from the Profile Greeting Creator.
2. The Profile Greeting Creator cannot be used to make commissions, requests, gifts, etc. for anyone else, whether it is for commercial or non-commercial purposes.
3. Credit on your page is highly appreciated, but not necessary.

Hey Simply! I know this is yet another comment about the new DA update messing with the coding, but I have an important question. If/when you fix it, will people who have already paid have to buy the updated coding, or will we get the new coding since we already paid for this version?Β
I'd appreciate a reply. I'm hoping I won't have to pay, in all honesty, since I literally just bought this. Anyway, hope you can be able to fix it! God bless.Β

The profile greeting on my page doesn't show up, I don't know if it's only me or to everyone, but when I enter your webpage to generate new greeting, it won't load :/ it says that "failed to find the server IP with the simplydevio.us website." (roughly transtated from Polish). "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED". I use Google Chrome, but I've never had this problem before on both Chrome or Firefox. Are your servers bugging or it's just me? :c

Hmm.. Some people are saying it says visitor instead of their name, and are logged in, it might be because of their privacy settings? Like if they chose to be Invisible, but I dunno.
EDIT: Not really an edit, more of an while writing the comment edit. Apparently this is the case, I made myself be listed as online and visited a page with this on it, and it displayed my name. I'm usually set as Invisible so I saw it call me a visitor instead of my username.
So pretty much there is no error in the code, it's just because of the person's settings to be Invisible instead of Online.
(Which is managed in the top right corner with the two people icon if what I said was confusing.)
I also figure maybe(?) if someone for example is using a VPN it wont say their name, but this is just an assumption I haven't tested it out.

Yes, you are correct. If a visitor is browsing on invisible or is not logged in to DeviantART, then they will be greeted only as "visitor" by the code. This is because the code relies on the Visitors widget, which does not log invisible visitors and those not logged in.

Hello!Β I went ahead and purchased this and am using it here - wild-whisper-forest.deviantartβ¦
I'd had a few people visit it and it just says "visitor" instead of their name.Β I'm not sure what else to try?Β I've gone through all the comments in the thread and changed https to http, etc.
Thank you very much for any help!

Hmm, looks like there's an issue with getting the visitor from the visitor widget. I will try to check it out in a few hours.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

Ah, actually I think I know what it is. Instead of providing your own username for the profile greeting creator, you need to add the name of the group (wild-whisper-forest). Otherwise, the greeter will try to greet whoever is coming to your profile page rather than the group profile page.

Oh!! Yes, it is working now 
π: 0 β©: 1
wohoo! This is some nice piece of code!
My page is currently still under construction but I'll link the particular creators asap (including you)
Btw. on your Greeting Generator the font selector color is set to white, so only if you hover over each one of them it'll turn black and readable.
Might consider changing that? I provided a screenshot below:
Best Regards

Your profile greeting page generator only has one font and adding any other doesn't work. Is this going to be fixed one day?

Hello, while this is an amazing code when i paste the code onto my page instead of saying the newest visitor's page it just says "visitor"? I've tried re-pasting the code and trying another code, but it still only displays as " visitor".
Thank you for any assistance i recieve.
