Instructions:

All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s single.php file.

<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

      echo 'Username: ' . $current_user->user_login . "\n";
      echo 'User email: ' . $current_user->user_email . "\n";
      echo 'User first name: ' . $current_user->user_firstname . "\n";
      echo 'User last name: ' . $current_user->user_lastname . "\n";
      echo 'User display name: ' . $current_user->display_name . "\n";
      echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . "\n";
?>

To display the user’s twitter information, use this snippet. All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s single.php file.

<?php
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$user_id = $current_user->ID; // You can set $user_id to any users, but this gets the current users ID.
 
$user_twitter = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'twitter', true);
echo $user_twitter;
?>
