Hack for displaying Full Name instead of Username

  • Hi there,

    Ive made a small “hack” for displaying the first and last name after beeing logged in. After searching around the web, I didnt found a solution for it. Thats why I want to share it in case that anybody needs it.

    For V. 2.6.0

    Go to plugins/sidebar-login/includes/class-sidebar-login-widget.php

    Line 103:


    $text = str_replace(
    array( '%username%', '%userid%', '%fullname%' ),
    array( ucwords( $this->user->display_name ), $this->user->ID, ucwords( $this->user->user_firstname . ' ' . $this->user->user_lastname ), ),
    $text
    );

    Then you can use %fullname% in widget “login title”. You may create your own tags with using the wordpress get_currentuserinfo function.

    At last I want to say that Im no programmer. So please use this on your own risk.
