User/Profile Page in NavBar doesnt always show Member Name

Hi,

Sorry I did not understand the issue from what you have written. Can you please provide us with some screenshots of the issue so we can better understand the issue.

Thanks

Hello ?? Sorry for not making myself clear.

In my navigation bar, I added the page that shows a user’s profile. Like this:

On a normal page, such as the start page, it shows the name of the page that I set up (i.e. Profil):

Currently I am logged in with the admin account. If I click on the “Profil” in my navigation bar, I get to my own profile. It then shows “admin” up there.

If I visit another User’s Profile, however, it does no longer show my own name, but the name of the profile owner whose profile I am looking at that moment: In this example, I look at the profile of “Lehrer Test”:

Much rather, I would like to always display the name of the user that is logged in (i.e. screenshot_2.png). Is it possible to do that? So whatever page they visit, it always shows their name up there and if they click it, they land on their own profile.

Thanks for your help, I hope everything is clear now.

Thanks for the extra info. What did you add to the nav menu item to create this?

Those are my UM settings:

As you see, the User page is called “Profil”. This is also the page that I added to the nav menu.

This is the content of the page:

There are two shortcodes uf UM, because we have two different UM groups with different profiles. So one shortcode shows the profile of Group A and the second shortcode shows the profile of Group B.

I actually meant the nav menu item. When you added the the nav menu item for profile what did you enter into the nav menu.

Thanks

Hello
Is this what you mean?:

I’m sorry, English is not my native language and also, I am pretty new to WordPress. I hope this is what you were looking for.

By the way: Is there a shortcode that displays the username of the logged in user? If yes, maybe I can add it as a display name for that page to the nav menu?

Thanks really much for your help and your patience ??

I could also change my WordPress page to English if that helps.

Yes that is the one. Have you see this doc?

Thank you very much
