Hi,

I want to hide personal information in my forum (real name for example), there is any option to change the author information of a Topic? Could I associate UM username with display name in wpF? I have all profile fields forced to UM.

As you can see in the attached file, there is appearing my real name, I want to hide it and only show my user name, xernovil.

Thanks in advance

Captura

@xernovil one crude way to do this would be with CSS, although it wouldn't prevent Google for example scraping the content - it would just be invisible to the eye when viewing. If you are looking to redact information based on GDPR compliance, then it's not necessary to change the actual name of the user who posted the content, as long as they cannot be attributed directly - for example, by email address, company name etc.

Could you provide a bit more information about your particular use case ?

@anonymous3542

I need that appear the username because is the information that the user needs to fill a form. They don't need to know the real name of the user, just the nickname/username.

It is to organize activities where the people could join in and then, filling a form, they introduce the results per user.

I don't know if it's enough information.

Thank in advance.

In that case, you could change the current setting located in forums->settings->members from USER_NICENAME to USER_ID

Save, then clear the forum cache.

Hello @anonymous3542, I did it and apparently it doesn't work...

Do I need doing something special?

Take a look of the picture, I think I'm doing correctly.

I continue seeing my full name instead of my username. Or it will works for the new topics?

Thanks in advance!
