Body class "logged-in-as-[user name]"

  • Is there a way to do this? To detect the user who is logged in, and pass his user name into a class attached to the body, like so:

    <body class="logged-in logged-in-as-Who_Dat">

  • You could use wp_get_current_user() for this purpose:

    function add_user_nicename( $classes ) {
  if ( is_user_logged_in() && wp_get_current_user() ) :
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $current_user_nicename = $current_user->user_nicename;
    $classes[] = 'logged-in-as-' . $current_user_nicename;
  endif;

  return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'body_class', 'add_user_nicename' );

    Thanks. I had a low-tech way of doing this:

    <?php
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
if ($user_id == 0) {
	echo '<body>';
} else {
	echo '<body class="logged-in user_'.$user_id.'">';
}
?>

    …and it works fine. It just doesn’t allow for other classes to be added that might be useful in their own right.

    [BTW…for some reason I didn’t get an email notification on this. Sorry to be so late acknowledging.]
