Hi, thanks for your plugin.

In my WP user id is email.

So in WPForo their mails are visible.

How can I set member display name to WP username and not id ?

Thanks a lot

Hi @ysty,

How can I set member display name to WP username and not id ?

wpForo shows Display Names of users. The Display Name is not Nicename nor Username.

You can change the display name in the  Forum > My Profile > Account font-end page.

More info here: https://wpforo.com/community/faq/nickname-vs-username-vs-display-names/

Thanks.

But there's no My Profile menu under Forum (see attachment).

Does this manipulation set display name for all users ?

Thanks

Hi @ysty,

As I already mentioned in the above post My Profile menu in the front-end page. See the screenshot below:

Ok but it wasn't my question.

I don't ask how can user change its name.

I would like that each new member automaticly has his name as display name and not the wordpress username.

Is it clearier ?

 

Thanks
