Can’t get username using current_user with WP-API inside functions.php

3 Views

I can’t get WP-API to show the current logged-in username for some reason it just shows an id : 0 and some other data.

functions.php

Read More
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'get_user_info' );

function get_user_info(){
    global $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();

    return $current_user;
}

add_action( 'rest_api_init', function () {
    register_rest_route( 'cala', '/get', array(
        'methods' => 'GET',
        'callback' => 'get_user_info',
    ) );
} );

JSON 

{
  "data": {

  },
  "ID": 0,
  "caps": [

  ],
  "cap_key": null,
  "roles": [

  ],
  "allcaps": [

  ],
  "filter": null
}

I am not sure if this is the best way either. Please help thanks.

  1. Id “0” means the current user is logged out (visitor). Check you session status when you are firing the request.

    Try wp_get_current_user() or get_current_user_id() maybe it will work better for you.
