After surviving the 2.0 upgrade, it appears that emails generated by new topics are not resolving [user_display_name]. This worked correctly prior to 2.0 on my site.

Hi @saschoenthal,

Try to change [user_display_name] shortcode to [member_name].

Hi @saschoenthal,

[user_display_name] shortcode in emails is deprecated, try [member_name].

Depreciated? I haven't touched a thing. It is what you suggest in the capture and as default.

@dimalifragis,

It was incorrect information, the shortcode is not deprecated.

@saschoenthal,

Can you provide admin access to your website? We need to check the issue in a not working website.

If yes, please send the admin credentials to info[at]gvectors.com and let me know here that the email has been sent.

I can reproduce it too.

Additionally, [topic_body] does not work either.
