I do not want members to be able to rename themselves in my forum. How do I turn this off?

Hi Latzo,

I suggest you hide the fields using CSS code. You need to put the code in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Styles > "Custom CSS Code:" textarea.

.wpf-field.wpf-field-type-text.wpf-field-name-display_name.wpf-field-required, .wpf-field.wpf-field-type-text.wpf-field-name-user_nicename.wpf-field-required {
    display: none;
}

In case you want to say thank you 😊

Hi Latzo,

Please Navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page click on [Delete User Cache] then [Delete All Caches] buttons and do CTRL+F5 on the frontend.

If you use some other cache plugins, please delete the plugins caches too.

Thank you very much, it worked..

Can you tell me where to find the names in CSS for Example

.wpf-field-name-display_name

What would be the CSS Name for the secondary usergroup and so on?

Hi Latzo,

You can find all classes by pressing F12 on the browser and opening Chrome or Firefox Console:

Thanks for the instruction screenshot.. i managed to remove the field "Title" at my own.. but i think because the secondary group is a chackbox, i cant hide it with your code.. do you have another hint for me?

Hi Latzo,

Please note: only admins are allowed to change Usergroups. these fields are not available for regular users.

Also please let us know have you used the "wpForo – User Custom Fields"?
