Many of us find that there is a need to show some user information inside a page. Today I am going to talk about a WordPress function. If you read my post carefully, you will understand how all the information of a user can be shown.
There is a function to show user information which is:
get_userdata($user_id)
The user ID you put in place of $user_id, all the information of that user will be stored in it. You can use it anywhere. Now let’s see its usage. get_userdata($user_id) This should be put in a variable, see below:
See above I have taken a Variable called $user_data. Here you can give any name of your variable. And in the user data function I have put the number 1 user. Now that it’s done, put this function at the very top. Now if I want to show the information of that number 1 user then I have to write like this.
Now as a result of writing it, the full name of user number 1 will be seen. Due to display_name, the full name can be seen, here you follow below to show other meta information:
“user_login” User Username can be displayed.
“first_name” can show the user’s First Name.
“last_name” User’s Last Name can be displayed.
“display_name” can display the full name of the user.
“nickname” can display the Nick Name of the user.
“description” User’s description/bio can be shown.
“user_email” User’s email can be displayed.
“roles” can show the role of the user.
Let me show you how to create a full function:
