I found a great solution for this issue in this article: How to add wordpress username after url?

/*
Plugin Name: My Awesome Button
Description: The shortcode [my-awesome-button] will be replaced with the HTML code for a button for logged-in users and for guests it will be replaced with an empty string (so it will be removed). This will work for posts and pages.

*/

add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_awesome_button_function', 99999999999 );

function my_awesome_button_function( $content ) {
    if ( strpos( $content, '[my-awesome-button]' ) !== false ) {
        if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
            $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
            $button_html = '<a href="/?user=' . esc_attr( $current_user->user_login ) . '"><button>Click me</button></a>';
            $content = str_replace( '[my-awesome-button]', $button_html, $content );
        } else {
            $content = str_replace( '[my-awesome-button]', '', $content );
        }
    }
    return $content;
}

My only problem, that the button is active only on the homepage and inactive on all of the other pages on the website (for example mydomain/documents).

Please be so kind and help me to fix it.

Thank you very much!

• 2 That button will be shown on those pages only where you put the shortcode. [my-awesome-button]. Try by adding this shortcode on another page content and check it. – Baikare Sandeep Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 14:35
• And you might as well implement this using add_shortcode() not a content_filter if you're going to specify the button in shortcode syntax. – Rup Commented Jun 5, 2020 at 14:41

You can try this shortode in this plugin file or you can paste this method to bottom of active theme's functions.php. If you are new to WordPress and need a help you can visit here for steps to add code in function.

add_shortcode( 'my-awesome-button', 'wp_my_awesome_bytton' );
function wp_my_awesome_bytton( $atts ) {
    $button_html = '';
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
            $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
            $button_html = '<a href="https://direktoriku/shopping/?user=' . esc_attr( $current_user->user_login ) . '"><button>Click me</button></a>';

    }
    return $button_html; 
}

// Use this shortcode anywhere in page/post content like this: [my-awesome-button] it will replace your shortcode to html code. More information about shortcode visit here.
