Thank you so much!

Using that link I posted earlier, I’ve also stumbled my way into a solution with some editing! So I’ll post what I have here for anyone who might be looking for something similar!

1) Add the menu and it’s submenu normally through the dashboard (Appearance -> Menu). Name the parent menu with a placeholder name/identifier. In my case, #profile_name# (See screenshot) at http://imgur.com/a/Ffavj

2) Add the following code to your theme’s ‘function.php’

// Replace "My Profile" with user firstname + lastname
function give_profile_name(){
    $user=wp_get_current_user();
    $name=$user->user_firstname;
    if (!empty($user->user_lastname)) {
      $name .= " " . substr($user->user_lastname, 0, 1) . ".";
    }
    if(empty($name)) {
      $name = "My Profile";
      return $name;
    } else {
      return $name;
    }
}

add_shortcode('profile_name', 'give_profile_name');

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_objects', 'my_dynamic_menu_items' );
function my_dynamic_menu_items( $menu_items ) {
    foreach ( $menu_items as $menu_item ) {
        if ( '#profile_name#' == $menu_item->title ) {
            global $shortcode_tags;
            if ( isset( $shortcode_tags['profile_name'] ) ) {
                // Or do_shortcode(), if you must.
                $menu_item->title = call_user_func( $shortcode_tags['profile_name'] );
            }
        }
    }

    return $menu_items;
}

This replaces the placeholder name/identifier with the logged-in user’s first name + first letter of his last name. If he does not have either a first name or last name saved, it will show as “My Profile” instead.

*The checking of whether a user is logged in or not here is handled by another plugin I have “User Menu”

Thank you so much once again sumithsuku11!

The menu on the top (Main navigation). Before logging in, it will show “Login” and “Register” but after logging in, it will show:

I would like to have the “My profile” to show the user’s first and last name.

Thanks!

Hi, yes I think I got the menu with the dropdown list on hover, which I added via Appearance -> Menu. It looks like this (screenshot attached) at the moment (with the list of links upon hover of “My profile”. But instead of “My profile”, I’m hoping to have it show the logged-in user’s first and last name instead.

Sorry about breaking the forum rules!

Would you be able to point me in the direction of where I might be able to read up on making those dropdown menu list upon mouse hover? I am trying to have a link that shows the user’s profile name and when clicked, it brings them to their account page and when mouse hovered, it will show a menu with “edit profile” and “logout”

Thanks again!

You are a lifesaver!

One more question, is it possible to make this be shown only to users who are not logged in?

Thanks, what about changing the words “Ask your question” or the space/line breaks between the search bar and the categories below?

The quantity display/font size problem only shows in safari and works fine in chrome.
