!	Before you read any further, you should install this handy plugin: PHP Execution. You'll need to have this plugin installed to use PHP code in Posts/Pages.

You can use one of these three:

Code: Select all

S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_FIRST_NAME
This will always be a (string) containing the current User's First Name. Empty if not logged in.

<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_FIRST_NAME; ?>
This may output something like: John
( or whatever their first name is )

---- s2member Shortcode Equivalent ----

[s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_FIRST_NAME" /]



S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LAST_NAME
This will always be a (string) containing the current User's Last Name. Empty if not logged in.

<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LAST_NAME; ?>
This may output something like: Smith
( or whatever their last name is )

---- s2member Shortcode Equivalent ----

[s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LAST_NAME" /]



S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LOGIN
This will always be a (string) containing the current User's Username. Empty if not logged in.

<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LOGIN; ?>
This may output something like: johnsmith22
( or whatever their login/username is )

---- s2member Shortcode Equivalent ----

[s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_LOGIN" /]

Also remember to put them in the HTML editor

thanks allot
did you mean that I should actually write -Hello S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_FIRST_NAME
and the S2MEMBER will put in my welcome page the name of my sbscriber?
like this- Hello Jhon ?
if so why do I need PHP ?
THANKS
ILANA

Yes, but you gotta have PHP Execution and you gotta put

Code: Select all

[s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_FIRST_NAME" /]

Exactly like that.

Hi Eduan
Do you mean that I should also write " code:select all"?
or only the green text?

Only the green text, "CODE: SELECT ALL" is what you click on to select all the code.

You only need the PHP execution plugin if you use PHP code in your post, not if you use the WordPress shortcode. So you can just do:

Code: Select all

Welcome [s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_FIRST_NAME" /]!

WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> s2Member PHP/API Constants

I hope this helps.
