03 / Website use cases
Where to use current session greeting
A friendly “Good morning” at the top of a page is easy to get wrong. If the server picks it, visitors in other time zones get the wrong greeting, and a page cache can keep showing “Good morning” all evening or show one member's name to everyone. Current session greeting picks the greeting in the visitor's own browser from their clock. A signed-in visitor's name is fetched by their own browser and never written into the page.
Member areas
Greet signed-in members by name without risking cached pages.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
Current session greeting compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor; works without WooCommerce.
- Names come from the WordPress display name.
- Does not track visitors or remember past visits.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot current session greeting
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why do I see nothing?
The greeting needs JavaScript. With “Signed-in visitors only”, it also stays hidden until your browser confirms you are signed in.
Why is there no name?
Names are shown only to signed-in visitors, and only when the theme marks the page with the WordPress “logged-in” body class. Names that look like an email address are never shown.
Why does it say good evening at 11pm?
Night uses the evening text unless you set a night greeting.
Which name is used?
The first word of the visitor's display name, or the full display name if you choose it. Users set it in their profile.
Current session greeting plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Is it safe with page caching?
Yes. The greeting and the name are filled in by each visitor's own browser, so a cached page never shows the wrong one.
Does it store any data?
No. It stores nothing in cookies or browser storage.
Which time zone does it use?
The visitor's own device clock, so every visitor sees a greeting for their time of day.
Does it need JavaScript?
Yes. Without JavaScript the widget shows nothing.
