How to Add Username to Menu

Hello,

Is there a way to add a Logged In Username to the menu in a specific location?

I have seen Hooks that add them to the end of the menu, but I need one added to a specific location in the menu.

Any plugin that will work within Appearence -> Menu area? Thanks in advance.

wp_nav_menu_items is a useful filter hook. You can use it like this:
```
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', function( $items, $args ) {
    if ( 'primary' === $args->theme_location ) {
        // Do something to the primary menu's $items.
    }
    return $items;
} );
```

Not sure if this is directly related to what you’re trying to do, but I wrote a post about dynamically adding items to a WP menu a couple years ago, which demonstrates some of what Henry has mentioned above: https://teleogistic.net/2013/02/11/dynamically-add-items-to-a-wp_nav_menu-list/
