Thank you for the reply, shanebp, but quite sure that is not the issue. Usernames are in the main WP profile and cannot be changed via admin. That is why my tech guy had to go into the database.
It seems BuddyPress is creating the URL slug from the username and it is the slug that appears on the member’s profile page. So we need to figure out how to change the slug and not only the username.
I just noticed something else odd in the member directory. There is a note on many members that says “Not recently active”. But that includes a couple guys who I know were on the site within the last few days, yet I see one guy who has not been on in 1 year, 7 months, and that period is listed without saying “Not recently active”.
It seems when I choose to sort by “Last Active” the directory is only showing those who are not listed with “Not recently active”, including the guy who has not been on in 1 year, 7 months. “Newest Registered” displays the same 5 people, just in a different order.
Figured this one out on my own. MemberPress and BuddyPress each have a setting to identify pages. I created a conflict in the pages being used by the two plugins.
