Display Name and username in sidebar widget

Hey there Schalk Joubert,

How are you doing today?

This is definitely possible but it will require making a small change in the code.

Please download class-ms-view-shortcode-login.php which is located in /wp-content/plugins/membership/app/view/shortcode/, then open it with text editor of your choice and go to line 447, it looks like this:

ucfirst( $member->name )

Replace that line with this one:

ucfirst( $member->first_name )

Please note that this will be lost once you update the plugin. I’ve talked to our plugin developer and he already added a hook in the development version that you will be able to use in the next plugin update. This is what you will be able to add to your theme functions.php:

add_filter( 'ms_shortcode_logout_message', 'custom_message', 10, 2 );
function custom_message( $msg, $member ) {
    return 'You are logged in as ' . $member->first_name;
}

Hope this helps ??

Best regards,
Bojan

Hi, Thank you,

For some reason it did’t work in the functions.php, but that is fine.
It worked when I made the change directly in the code.
And since this will be included in the next version, thats brilliant.

Thank you.
