Display Howdy Message on Home Page

  • Hi all,

    I am trying to display the Howdy (Changed to ‘Welcome Back’)Message on my home page – I am using the code from admin-header.php

    <div id="user_info">
<p><?php printf(__('Welcome Back, <a href="%1$s" title="Edit your profile">%2$s</a>'), 'profile.php', $user_identity) ?> |
<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url() ?>" title="<?php _e('Log Out') ?>"><?php _e('Log Out'); ?></a></p>
</div>

    It displays the “Welcome Back” but no username – I am signed in as a user?

    Do I need to add a call to $user_identity? Would anyone know how to do this.

    Thanks, Joe

  • Try:

    <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo(); ?>
<div id="user_info">
<p>Welcome Back, <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php" title="Edit your profile"><?php echo $current_user->display_name;?></a> |
<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url() ?>" title="<?php _e('Log Out') ?>"><?php _e('Log Out'); ?></a></p>
</div>
<?php endif;?>

    Slightly modified and working perfect

    <?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo 'Welcome Back ' . $current_user->user_firstname . "\n";?>

    Is there a way to apply a style sheet to the output?

    This is outputing perfectly

    <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url() ?>" title="<?php _e('Log Out') ?>"><?php _e('Log Out'); ?></a>
