It looks like you copied the wrong code. This is what you want to add to `</head>` tab:

```plaintext
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.18">
    api.onPageChange(() => {
        if(api.getCurrentUser() != null) {
            $("#logged-in-user").text(" " + api.getCurrentUser().name.split(' ')[0]);
        }
    });
</script>

```

And place this in the After Header tab where appropriate:

```plaintext
<h2 class="x-title">Hey<span id="logged-in-user"></span>! Bienvenue dans ta nouvelle communauté</h2>

```
