None of your suggestions worked for me. What did work is creating three notifications: (1) post added (Flower), (2) post updated (Flower) and (3) new media published (a flower photo). The current user I was looking for is the media_author. (FYI, I can get the media_title but not the media_caption.)

I don’t get any user’s name from [post_update_author]. (I modified a name field for one of the flowers instead of a photo this time.) Please check your code.

No, that’s not correct. I have two different “authors”, (1) the person who posted the flower, and (2) the person who added a flower photo (an update). I just need a shortcode for the display name of the “current user” who triggered an update notification. Right now, all of your “user” shortcodes come back with data on the person who posted the flower, not the current user.

The user codes (display_name, user_firstname, user_lastname) are giving me the info for the original author, not for the current user making the change.

I reduced my plugins to Pods plus Childify Me. The post_modified value didn’t change.
