    Hi Team,

    I would like to show “Welcome Firstname LastName” as an item in the main menu bar.
    How to add this item using [wpmem_field first_name] [wpmem_field last_name] shortcode with WP-Memebers ?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated…

    Phil

    In order to use the shortcodes, you have to use them in a place that actually parses shortcodes. WP by default only does that in the main content area. Some themes add shortcode parsing to other areas, but not always; and even when they do, it’s not often in the menu area.

    You’d have to add a filter to run do_shortcode() on the specific content in question (in this case, your menu items). There are some key WP filter hooks for doing this in various areas here: https://rocketgeek.com/shortcodes/adding-shortcodes-to-other-locations/
