Change display username to display first name

Hey,

We have created a filter hook for this. If you want to change the username which is showing in the navigation.

You can modify the given code accordingly.

Helping Documentation: https://loginpress.pro/doc/login-logout-menu-filters/

/**

* Filter to Change the user profile link text

*

* @param [String] $user_name The name of the user who is logged in

*

* @return [string] Custom String and the username

*/

add_filter( 'login_logout_menu_username', 'custom_loginpress_login_logout_menu_username' );

function custom_loginpress_login_logout_menu_username( $user_name ) {

$current_user = null !== wp_get_current_user() && ! empty( wp_get_current_user() ) ? wp_get_current_user()->display_name : $user_name;

return $current_user;

}

Kindly copy and paste the following in your theme’s functions.php file.

This code will modify the username to display name.

Have a nice day!
