Hi Boone, this is not a plugin, it’s just a way to make sure the users don’t forget their login information. Ever since the beginning we’ve asked them to use their email as their username.

Is there any way to tell BuddyPress to use first names, or pseudonyms, instead of the usernames ? or just user IDs instead ?

I’m on a different theme, and I made it BuddyPress compatible using the plugin that edits the theme.

I guess I can edit this out of the member page, what concerns me is the URL.

With an url like website.com/members/johnsmith-gmail-com
it’s not really hard to harvest the emails of everyone and spam them.

Please provide me with instructions on changing these urls.

Hi Paul, I am using WordPress 3.0 and BuddyPress 1.2.6

I have not changed any settings – Buddypress comes right out of the box using member’s login info in the urls.
My URL for instance is /members/admin and stays that way even though my full name is “FirstName LastName”.

I need BuddyPress to use the full name field, not the username field.

Can you help with this ?

Does somebody have an answer ? I’m really afraid some email harvesters will start spamming my members.
