Anyone have any ideas that can point me in the right direction? I’d greatly appreciate it~

Yay, I found a plugin that disables display names and forces to show the username on all your bbpress. You can find the plugin here: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/disable-display-name/

I’ve tested it on bbpress version 1.0.2 integrated with buddypress 1.2.4.1 and wordpress 2.9.2 and so far no bugs.

@intimez Thank you for your reply. I’m currently using that plugin that @r-a-y created and it works great with my buddypress/group forums however I also have an external bbpress install so I can have a true forum for my website as well. It uses the same table as wordpress and buddypress and I have it fully integrated however it’s pulling through the Name field that is required in buddypress and using it as the post author. Since I have the usernames plugin enabled I would like the bbpress external forum to show the usernames instead of the Name.

I hope this helps explain my situation better.

Just wanted to update to say that I temporarily got it working using:

bp_has_groups( ‘search_terms=beta&max=1’ )

The only thing that worries me is that I need to prevent users from registering any groups that have the name ‘beta’ in it now. Is there a way to ‘blacklist’ a certain group name from being created?

EDIT:
Seems as though I can just put a space between the search terms so I simply put beta tester and all seems well

Now it looks like:
( bp_has_groups( ‘search_terms=beta tester&max=1’ )
