Use php to call username

[NMillard]

I’m trying to make a “Hi [Username]” thing on my front page – but I just can’t get the name to show.

I am using this code:

<?php
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

echo ‘username:’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘<br />’;

?>

but nothing works… how would you do it? 🙂

Hi,

it should be something like this.

<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

      echo 'Username: ' . $current_user->user_login . "\n";
      echo 'User email: ' . $current_user->user_email . "\n";
      echo 'User level: ' . $current_user->user_level . "\n";
      echo 'User first name: ' . $current_user->user_firstname . "\n";
      echo 'User last name: ' . $current_user->user_lastname . "\n";
      echo 'User display name: ' . $current_user->display_name . "\n";
      echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . "\n";
?>

give it a try.

I’ve also tried that – it just prints out the code.

Should I use any specific element? I’ve tried with text block and RAW HTML..

That’s different, that code only runs in php.

Try to use a plugin like this one

You create the snippet of php and you will have a shortcode that you can paste inside of our Text Block assets so it could render the shortcode.

HI i’d like to add this greeting like “Welcome ‘username’ ” on the header, using php snippet and shortcode.
I’ve already make it work But how can make it only visible when the user is logged in?
Because when the user is not logged in, it only prints ” Welcome ” and it makes no sense.
Thank you

Hi,
Please paste this code at functions.php of child theme:-

 function sf_woo_links( $position = "", $config = "" ) {

            // VARIABLES
            global $sf_options;

            $tb_search_text   = $sf_options['tb_search_text'];
            $woo_links_output = $ss_enable = "";
			$supersearch_icon = apply_filters('sf_header_supersearch_icon', '<i class="ss-zoomin"></i>');

            if ( isset( $sf_options['ss_enable'] ) ) {
                $ss_enable = $sf_options['ss_enable'];
            } else {
                $ss_enable = true;
            }

            // WOO LINKS OUTPUT
            $woo_links_output .= '<nav class="' . $position . '">' . "\n";
            $woo_links_output .= '<ul class="menu">' . "\n";
            if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
                global $current_user;
                get_currentuserinfo();
                $woo_links_output .= '<li class="tb-welcome">' . __( "Welcome", "swiftframework" ) . " " . $current_user->display_name . '</li>' . "\n";
            } 
            if ( $ss_enable ) {
                if ( $position == "top-menu" ) {
                    $woo_links_output .= '<li class="tb-woo-custom clearfix"><a class="swift-search-link" href="#">'.$supersearch_icon.'<span>' . do_shortcode( $tb_search_text ) . '</span></a></li>' . "\n";
                } else {
                    $woo_links_output .= '<li class="hs-woo-custom clearfix"><a class="swift-search-link" href="#">'.$supersearch_icon.'<span>' . do_shortcode( $tb_search_text ) . '</span></a></li>' . "\n";
                }
            }
            $woo_links_output .= '</ul>' . "\n";
            $woo_links_output .= '</nav>' . "\n";

            // RETURN
            return $woo_links_output;
        }

Hi,
Just remove the last code and use this code:-

<?php
function sf_woo_links( $position = “”, $config = “” ) {

// VARIABLES
global $sf_options;

$tb_search_text = $sf_options[‘tb_search_text’];
$woo_links_output = $ss_enable = “”;
$supersearch_icon = apply_filters(‘sf_header_supersearch_icon’, ‘<i class=”ss-zoomin”></i>’);

if ( isset( $sf_options[‘ss_enable’] ) ) {
$ss_enable = $sf_options[‘ss_enable’];
} else {
$ss_enable = true;
}

// WOO LINKS OUTPUT
$woo_links_output .= ‘<nav class=”‘ . $position . ‘”>’ . “\n”;
$woo_links_output .= ‘<ul class=”menu”>’ . “\n”;
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$woo_links_output .= ‘<li class=”tb-welcome”>’ . __( “Welcome”, “swiftframework” ) . ” ” . $current_user->display_name . ‘‘ . “\n”;
}
if ( $ss_enable ) {
if ( $position == “top-menu” ) {
$woo_links_output .= ‘<li class=”tb-woo-custom clearfix”>‘.$supersearch_icon.'<span>’ . do_shortcode( $tb_search_text ) . ‘</span>‘ . “\n”;
} else {
$woo_links_output .= ‘<li class=”hs-woo-custom clearfix”>‘.$supersearch_icon.'<span>’ . do_shortcode( $tb_search_text ) . ‘</span>‘ . “\n”;
}
}
$woo_links_output .= ‘‘ . “\n”;
$woo_links_output .= ‘</nav>’ . “\n”;

// RETURN
return $woo_links_output;
}
?>

Thanks
