Hi,

Add this code in template.php inside the function corolla_preprocess_block(&$variables)

 if($variables['block']->delta == 'user-menu' ) {
    global $user;
    $variables['block']->subject = $user->name;
  }

This will change the title of the user menu block to the name of the user

Thanks,
Komal

Hi,

This really helped with getting the name to appear above my user menu when someone is logged in. However, when no one is logged in, the user menu (which also appears in my footer) doesn't have a title. Is anyone able to help me with the simple programming for adding a title such as "Members" when no one is logged in/anonymous user?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Cptionestar

Try this:

<?php
global $user;
if ($user->uid) {
  if($variables['block']->delta == 'user-menu' ) {
    $variables['block']->subject = $user->name;
  }
}
else {
  $variables['block']->subject = t('Anonymous');
}
?>

Change 'Anonymous' to whatever you want the block title to be.
