Did you clear the forum cache, plus any other caching plugins you may be using ?

Yes! I did it! This change affects to all the topics (included already posted) or only the new ones?

Thanks

That I'm not sure about - perhaps @robert can advise, but if you create a new topic, is the change reflected ?

Hi @anonymous3542,

wpForo only shows Display Names. There is no way to change it. Display Name can be changed in My Profile > Account admin page, all users are able to change Display Names. Display Name is not the Real First/Last Name. Display Name can be set whatever user wants.

After any change if you don't see the changes in topics and posts you should navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page and click on the [Delete all caches] button.

Do we have way to change display name by username by default? Like the profile forced redirection. Users won't have the oportunity to change it because they don't have access to wpfprofile. Thanks!
