@eborg9 Did you ever find a solution to making BuddyPress display real names? Or at least hiding the stupid username? I just read your thread on the topic and cannot BELIEVE how you were treated and forced to work so hard all for mostly nothing.

I can’t duplicate what you guys are experiencing.

@r-a-y, @eborg9 is right, this is happening with me too, in the activity stream it always shows the username but in the rest of the site it shows the display name
