Question

I’m creating a WordPress theme, but I can’t get the current username. I tried get_currentuserinfo() but it doesn’t seem to work. Is there any working function to get the username that I can use in the header.php template file?

Did you read the documentation, this example work well for me :

<?php 
  global $current_user;
  wp_get_current_user() ;
  echo $current_user->user_login;
?>
