I thought adding it above may help anybody else doing a search 🙂

I had a little play (because I’m not as techie as I used to be), and I found the solution.

In member-header.php line 25 it has this:

<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></h2>

I changed that to this:

<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php echo bp_get_displayed_user_username(); ?></h2>

Thanks for that.

I’ve taken a look at those, and it seems that most of them are about changing the way it is shown, but I’m happy for the username to be shown, which is how it is done in the system (joej), but on the profile it is showing the display name (Joe Jenkins).

Which file deals with showing the top half of the profile, where it has the avatar and @name ? I can take a look see if the problem is there somehow.

[HorrorUK]

I’ve gone in and removed all other plugins and used the default theme, but I still have the same problem.

I tried some of the solutions on the link below, but none of them worked:

You can do this with Gravity Forms (www.gravityforms.com). You’ll need to also have the User Registration Add-On, but it does a great job of doing what you are asking.

The only thing to keep in mind though, is that it won’t save any of the info until you click the final submit button.

I use this for registration on BuddyPress. Though I don’t do the multistep for registration, I use it all the time for other forms on the site.

[HorrorUK]

For somebody new to BuddyPress, things aren’t so obvious

[HorrorUK]

Thanks. I knew it should be simple, but couldn’t see it 🙂

[HorrorUK]

I’ve just noticed that this works fine in Chrome, but in Firefox, users are unable to create a group, and just pasting in the URL gives a 404

[HorrorUK]

Ignore that, I just added an older trac version, and for some reason it doesn’t show on there either, so must be my site.

[HorrorUK]

I just uploaded the latest TRAC version, but it looks like somebody forgot to add a save settings button to the components settings.

@mercime

Thank you for that code, it did the job perfectly

[HorrorUK]

I don’t mind other users coming along and signing up, it’s just that I don’t want them being able to write on the forums if they are not a member of the group

[HorrorUK]

I cleared it all from the database, then had to recreate the groups. That fixed the problem.

[HorrorUK]

I’ve tried various themes, with the same problem, so it is definitely BuddyPress

[HorrorUK]

[HorrorUK]

Anybody have any ideas on what could cause this?

[HorrorUK]

It’s just strange that it seems to have happened in the middle f users signing up, those before and after are fine.

Also, the members widget shows the same users with the correct information, so it is only on the members page that this happens.

It does sound like a bug somewhere, but I have no idea where that would be

[HorrorUK]

Hi,

Any ideas on this?

Thanks.

[HorrorUK]

The really strange thing, is that those who have registered both before and after those marked in this way are showing up correctly.

[HorrorUK]

Hi Paul,

WordPress Version 3.4.2
Buddypress Version 1.6.1

This was a fresh build of both WP and BP, and the timestamps are correct on my posts.

The timezone is correct, but I’ve not tried any scheduled posts yet, so can’t answer that one.

[HorrorUK]

Thanks @mercime

Where do I get that permalink file? I took a look in the BuddyPress folder and the default theme, but couldn’t see it there.

[HorrorUK]

Thanks for that.

I’ll take a look at all that and get it sorted :0)

[HorrorUK]

Actually, my apologies, but that did do the job perfectly.

Thank you.

[HorrorUK]

Thanks, that’s kind of what I need, but for the @name only, as the user name needs to remain the email so that the bridge will work (WHMCS only allows emails as the user name).

There isn’t a problem so much with an email being a user name, as the user can change what is shown on the site to whatever they want.

[HorrorUK]

I’d be interested to know if this is possible, as it would be good for the town community site I’m working on.
