How can I get current user id in plugin? I tried to use $current_user->ID but it doesn’t work (works fine in template files). Any other way?

Thanks

```
global $current_user;
echo $current_user->ID;
```
If a variable is outside the scope of where you’re trying to call it, then you need to globalise that variable..

small fix:
```
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
echo $current_user->ID;
```
