 * Hello,
 * I want to send out an email with form data and I’m just missing a function to
   include the user which is logged in to be included in the email message.
 * Is there shortcode or some easy way to do this?
 * For example this is the message…
 * You have received a form submission from (USERNAME)
    FILEDS….
 * I’m already getting all the fields just need the username.
 * Thanks for the help!

 * Thanks, it looks like i’ll have to create a field with like contact name for 
   this to work. I was hoping there was another way since i already have the users
   register through Ultimate Member plugin which has there name already.
 * But no biggy this will work.
 * Thanks!
