    Hey All;

    In the BuddyPress 1.7 activity feed (mytheme/buddypress/activity/entry.php), the user’s avatar gets displayed beside their status update like so:

        <div class="activity-avatar">
      <a href="<?php bp_activity_user_link(); ?>">
        <?php bp_activity_avatar(); ?>
      </a>
    </div>

    I’d like to display the user’s username underneath their avatar, and I tried using this code, but for some reason she no work.

        <div class="activity-avatar">
      <a href="<?php bp_activity_user_link(); ?>">
        <?php bp_activity_avatar(); ?>
      </a>
      <br />
      <a href="<?php bp_activity_user_link(); ?>" class="nicename">
        @<?php bp_get_displayed_user_username(); ?>
      </a>
    </div>

    Would someone please kindly show me how to simply display the user’s username/nicename in the activity feed entry?

    bp_get_displayed_user_username() will fetch the name but won’t display it.

    So you can do this:

    echo bp_get_displayed_user_username()

    Or use bp_displayed_user_username()

    @shanebpdev – Should I be declaring a global variable somewhere first?

    You might need the global
    global $activities_template;

    Try
    echo $activities_template->activity->user_nicename

    or
    echo $activities_template->activity->user_login

    @shanebpdev – it worked! I used:

            <a href="<?php bp_activity_user_link(); ?>" class="nicename"> 
			@<?php global $activities_template;
			echo $activities_template->activity->user_nicename; 
			?>
        </a>

    Thanks so much for your prompt help!!
