Shortcode to show a user's display name

    Hi,
    This question was asked 3 years ago at this topic: Press here

    So I just paste the same question in quotes. I was trying to user get_userdata(); instead of get_avatar( $id ); but it didn’t work. Any ideas how to solve that issue?

    “I’m trying to create a simple shortcode that will show a user’s display name based on the user ID you insert (or default to the currently logged in user if no ID is provided). Below is a similar shortcode I’ve created to do this for a user’s avatar:

    <?php

function avatar_shortcode( $atts ) {

global $current_user;
$user_id = ( is_user_logged_in() ? $current_user->ID : NULL );

extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'id' => $user_id,
), $atts ) );

return get_avatar( $id );
}

add_shortcode('avatar', 'avatar_shortcode');

?>

    [avatar] displays the currently logged in user’s avatar and [avatar id=”1″] display’s the avatar for the user with an ID of 1 and so on. This is exactly what I am looking for to show a user’s display name. Something where [display-name] will show the currently logged in user’s display name and [display-name id=”1″] will show the display name for the user with an ID of 1 and so on.”

    Thanks everyone in advance.

    Here is a code:

    function name_shortcode( $atts ) {

global $current_user;
$user_id = ( is_user_logged_in() ? $current_user->ID : NULL );

extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'id' => $user_id,
), $atts ) );

return get_userdata($id)->user_login;
}

add_shortcode('name', 'name_shortcode');

    May someone will be useful. To get user name use shortcode [name id=”here_insert_user_id”]
