    This will give you a WP_User object

    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();

    Then you can get any info you need:

    echo 'Username:   ' . $current_user->user_login . '<br />';
    echo 'User email: ' . $current_user->user_email . '<br />';
    echo 'User first name:   ' . $current_user->user_firstname . '<br />';
    echo 'User last name:    ' . $current_user->user_lastname  . '<br />';
    echo 'User display name: ' . $current_user->display_name   . '<br />';
    echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . '<br />';

    Find the piece of code that is responsible for outputting the top menu bar (probably header.php), and add this code to it, use your PHP/HTML/CSS to get the desired output.

    sorry, im not able to do what you said, its confusing me,

    let me clarify,
    This below is to show logged in username

    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    echo ‘User display name: ‘ . $current_user->display_name . ‘
    ‘;

    it it right?

    if yes, i need to add this on header.php file.
    i’m not pro in this,so how to add this to php file?
    or How to add this in CSS?

    i need to place this function to here in my site
    <div class=”col-md-6 col-sm-6 kad-topbar-left”>

    Thank you

    Hi Guys,

    I managed to do this with the code below. However, how do I get the displayed username to be a link to the user profile?

    <?php if (is_user_logged_in()){
    global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo();
    echo(‘Hi, ‘ . $current_user->user_login . ‘ ‘);

    }
    else {
    echo “Welcome, Visitor “;
    };
    ?>

    Thanks!

    hey, sorry for late replay finally got

    <div class="top-login">
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    echo 'Logged in as, ';
    global $current_user;
if ( isset($current_user) ) {
 echo $current_user->>user_login;
}
} else {
    echo 'Guest';
}
?>
</div>

    add and style class top-login in style css, its done
    I managed to show first name of user but is there any way to show name with link to his account url link?
