How to display Submitter Name in the loop?

If enabled on the form, the author/name field is added as a Custom Field to the submitted post. You can get the name Custom Field and display it using the following code:

<?php // display submitted author name
$usp_author = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'user_submit_name', true);
echo $usp_author; ?>

You can add that to your theme template and it will display the submitted name.

It worked perfectly!

I’ve added a condition so that I will post the submitted author name or the wordpress author:

if($this_post->is_submission == true)

Thank you!

Awesome!

Also note that USP provides a built-in function to check if it’s a submitted post:

usp_is_public_submission()

More info in the plugin documentation.

?You can add that to your theme template and it will display the submitted name.?

I’m a beginner in all this. Where do I have to add the code exactly ?

What I want to do: I would like to add a search tool by user submitted name.

Possible ?

Thanks

You would use that tag wherever it is required, most likely in some conditional logic within the WordPress Loop. I’m sure that you or your developer could build a search tool, but it’s not something that is included with the plugin.
