This appears to be a problem with my BP Usernames Only plugin.
Looking into it.

is this issue from BP 1.2.5 or from your Plugin, Ray ?

Many thanks,
Erich

Hi Ray,

is there a chance you update your Plugin to the next version-number, so that there will be a notification in the Dashboard in order to update the Plugin.
That would be the easiest way for a user like myself to update that Plugin.

Currently I do see version 0.56

@r-a-y This is a bit of a mystery r-a-y!

Just updated to 0.57 and it looks like the fix works for regular members.
For some bizarre reason when I login as admin though the first profile I look at is correct with the correct identifier name but then everyone I look at after that is displaying the identifier as the same as the original one.

Really bizarre.
Could you try it and see if you get the same thing. It is only happening on my admin account from what i can tell so far.
Thanks.

@r-a-y
Oooh just noticed by the way when you are on a member’s profile page as admin it is their display name that is displayed in the admin options in the tool bar at the top of the page.
Not sure if anyone has pointed this out before but thought you would want to know.
Cheers r-a-y!

@r-a-y Just to let you know that I am using the other bit of code you supplied to show ONLY usernames even on a profile page. Not sure if that plays a part. The identifiers are fine when I log in as a user but it’s just as admin when they are wrong.

Can anyone else duplicate this?

Thanks for the extra info. Still can’t duplicate it though.

I’ll sift through any plugins or code snippets I might be using on top and see if I can duplicate it.

[EDIT]
Looking into your current steps. Will report back.

[EDIT #2]
@rossagrant – Can’t duplicate this. Sorry! Are you using any caching plugins?

Yes I have the BP Follow plugin active and it’s working for me…

@r-a-y AHA!!! If I stop following anyone then it remedies itself too. If I follow someone then the identifier displays the name of the last person I followed. Can you try it?

Thanks for looking into this, @rossagrant.
However, I’m still not able to duplicate this. I’ll try this on a fresh install of single WP in a few hours.

I’m currently using a multisite install on WP 3.0.

It’s probably my plugin.

I’ve noticed some weird discrepancies when using the Usernames Only plugin between single WP and multisite as of late… something screwy is going on. Definitely worth looking into.

Hi Ray,

I have upgraded to version 0.57 but I still see the issue showing the name “admin” instead of the name of the user.
I do NOT have the “BP Follower Plugin installed”.

I see this issue when not being logged-in.
When being logged-in, then this issue is not there.

Using WP 3.0 (Multi-Site) and BP 1.2.4.1

@tsui is a unique identifier for admin that you can type into any message on this site. admin will be sent a notification and a link to your message any time you use it.

@r-a-y Not sure what you did r-a-y but it’s done the trick. I can confirm it works on a WP single install and BP 1.2.5 with BP Followers enabled. The previous symptoms have gone away! Thanks again!
