Description

An easy-to-use lightweight WordPress Plugin that can show the currently logged in user name or other metadata.

Replaces a target menu item with alternate txt which can also include usermeta. User metadata would typically include ‘first-name’, ‘last-name’, ‘nickname’ etc
Any available usermeta may be used.

Optionally decorates the menu item with a user avatar. The avatar size is adjustable.

The target menu, the replacement text and the avatar are all set on the options menu which is found in [Settings|Logged In As]

Designed with the intention of being used in conjunction with a Membership plugin.

The website visitor must be logged in for this plugin to work

To date has been tested only with Ultimate Member and MemberPress membership plugins but others may work too

Install Logged In As just as you would any other WP Plugin:

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/logged in as directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.

  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

  3. Configure ‘Logged In As’ in the settings screen by clicking the ‘settings’ link on the plugins page or navigating to ‘settings|logged In As’ on the dashboard.
