display current user outside of WP / get_currentuserinfo() not working
-
I’m looking already for over 3 hours now, and have found many possible solutions, but none of them works!
The (simple) situation:
– I have a fresh install of WordPress 2.7.1 installation on http://www.mysite.com/blog/
– On a page outside WP http://www.mysite.com/test/test.php I try to display the user that is currently logged in, etc.What IS working:
require_once('../blog/wp-blog-header.php');
and:$posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&order=ASC&orderby=post_title'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?> <?php the_date(); echo ""; ?> <?php the_title(); ?> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <?php endforeach;
What IS NOT working:
(nothing is displayed)global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo $current_user->user_login;
Also NOT working:
(displays ‘Welcome, visitor!’ while I am logged in)if (is_user_logged_in()){ echo "Welcome, registered user!"; } else { echo "Welcome, visitor!"; };
btw I have no active plugins and just a couple of posts and 2 users (author/subscriber) for testing purposes.
