Does anyone know the function call to retrieve the current logged in member?

Thank you.

Yes, it’s standard WordPress – did you Google?

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

If you want their BP paths (profile URL) etc. then: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/the-bp-global/

Thanks @RogerCoathup.

I actually did Google it…i thought I needed a BP login.

So I tried
`get_currentuserinfo();
echo $current_user->user_login;`

But I get nothing.

Then I tried `bp_loggedin_user_id()` and I get the ID NUmber — getting closer.

To I tried `bp_loggedin_user_login()` but that fails to get me the user_login. It must not be a defined function call.

Also tried `bp_loggedin_user()` and `bp_loggedin_user_name()` — nothing.

Tried `$user_login` — no good…

Solved it.

Use WordPress functions but you must declare $current_user as GLOBAL

`global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();`

Then you can reference:
`$current_user->user_login`
