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 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:

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.
Thanks @robert, and sure. 🙂
field:Â .wpforo-last-post-user >> screenshot here - and - link to my site here.
(weirdly, my profile seemed to have disappeared here on the wpForo forums, and I needed to re-register just now to login. [Same user handle was available]. I also posted my site in the 'wpForo showcase' topic and my post was a/w moderation. Now it's vanished!)
