Listify supports displaying the name and avatar of the currently logged-in user directly within a navigation menu. This is a great way to personalize the user experience.
Steps to Add the Avatar Menu Item
- Go to Appearance > Menus in your WordPress dashboard.
- In the left column, click the Custom Links section.
- In the URL field, enter
#or link to a specific page such as your Account page. - In the Link Text field, enter
{{account}}.
Once added, place this menu item in any supported location: Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary menu areas.
Here’s what happens based on the user’s login status:
- Logged-in users will see their display name and avatar.
- Logged-out users will see the text “Guest.”
To customize the word “Guest” or other single words, please see: How to Change Single Words.
