Display author first name and author last name

    The code below displays the logged in user’s first and last names even when used in a post loop:
    [user field=first_name] [user field=last_name]

    [loop type=post]
[field title]
[field excerpt]
[user field=first_name] [user field=last_name]
[/loop]

    This `[field author]’ displays the username of the author, but not the first and last names like I need.

    Suggestions, please.

    Thank you!

    I think you need to pass the author ID to an users loop.

    Thanks for your response, Peter.
    I tried the code below and got the same results…the first and last name of the logged in user.

    [loop type=post]
[field title]
[field excerpt]
[pass field=author][user field=first_name] [user field=last_name][/pass]
[/loop]

    I may be using the wrong syntax.

    You are not passing the author ID to an user loop. Take a look at the plugin reference for User and Pass.

    Try this code:

    [pass field=author-id]
[users include={FIELD}]
ID: {FIELD}
First name: [user first_name] 
Last name: [user last_name] 
Contact: [user email]
[/users]
[/pass]
