Hi @robert, thanks for your fix for this (and thanks for your great plugin!)

In the same way, I also wish to extend the width of field: .wpforo-last-post-user as part of 'First post and replies'.

I've looked through the forum.php file to try to make a similar edit, but I'm unable to find the relevant code.

Could you please provide a newbie with a clue? :-)

Hi @nutritionchat,

Please show it on some screenshot.

Ok, I see.

Do you still plan to add a filter hook about this in future versions?

Hi @envi,

The hook is not needed. You can use the Extended Layout template file to customize.

1. Create /wpforo/ folder in your active WordPress theme, then create /layouts/ in that folder then /1/ folder. The end folders should be: /wpforo/layouts/1/

2. Copy wp-content/plugins/wpforo/wpf-themes/classic/layouts/1/forum.php file and paste in the /wpforo/layouts/1/ folder you created in #1 step.

3. Open forum.php file and find this code:

<?php wpforo_member_link($member, 'by', 9); ?>

4. Change the third "9" argument to whatever you want. It's the number of username chars.

This is the wpForo template file customization in upgrade-safe way. You can read more in wpForo Documentation:

I'm sorry but there is no way to do this. CSS is not enough. These usernames are cut in wpForo template files. We'll add a filter hook in future versions to allow you control the max number of chars.

Did you add this filter? If yes, how can I control the max number of chars now?

Ok, I see.

Do you have an update regarding this inquiry?

I also want to show the full usernames on the Extended Forum Layouts.

Thanks!

I don't agree with changing plugin code, but until the filter hook has been added, I really would like to solve this temporarily myself, but after hunting around for what variables I need to change, I tried increasing 'layout_extended_intro_posts_length' => 50 in class-posts.php to no avail. Is it possible to tell me what variables/CSS I need to change? Or do you have a planned date for release of the filter hook you mention?

Many thanks

I can handle the CSS part of it, but I'm not sure how to allow more characters. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
