login welcome with user name

[defeyter]

Hello Everyone,

I need to have login welcome pages based on the user name, using S2-member pro.
%%current_user_display_name%% is not working...

Which custom code should I use?

Thank you for the help,

Chris de Feijter

That's because %%current_user_display_name%% is for emails only.
You gotta use the shortcodes under WP Admin -> s2Member -> API / Scripting -> s2Member PHP/API Constants.

Here's the corresponding one:

[s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_DISPLAY_NAME" /]

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply.

Do I enter it like %%[s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_DISPLAY_NAME" /]%%

or like %%S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_DISPLAY_NAME%% (Tried this one, but it does not work).

Thanks,
Chris

Just enter it like this:

[s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_DISPLAY_NAME" /]

It will display the display name.

Hi,

It gives me a 404. So I entered as replacement code:
[s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_DISPLAY_NAME" /] as the Login welcome under settings-general-login welcome page.

Then I created the new page with title and slug of the username. If the username is example, I named that page example.

What am I doing horribly wrong?

Thanks for the help

Are you putting it like this:
Hello [s2Get constant="S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_DISPLAY_NAME" /]! Or something along those lines?
If you put it as a page title it should work.

No, I am trying to do something else. I am not sure if we are talking about something else either lol.

I am working under general options - login welcome page - special redirection URL

using a replacement code so that every user has their own customised login welcome page...

I am attaching a screenshot...

So if my user name is Example, when I login, I want to see the welcome page for user Example..

Does that make sense?

Thanks, that fixed my problem using the %%current_user_login%% replacement code, combined with the custom capacity.

Great support!
