bp_displayed_user_fullname() stopped working

HI,
Some time ago I have build an intranet for a company using Buddypress. Everything had been fine but recently I have got this problem:
In the member directory overview it is working fine, I see the users full names below there pics but on the single member pages it shows the nickname (@a-gordijnairborne-nl) in stead of the full name.
I have copied several buddypress files to my theme directory. In member-header.php I use the following code: “><?php bp_displayed_user_fullname(); ?>

As said before, this used to work but now it is showing some kind of nickname. I checked as much as possible: WordPress and plug-ins up to date. Extended profiles is active and so on but it won’t work.
It looks like an update caused this?

I cannot give a link because thats only possible with an account and I cannot give you access before asking the client because it’s a intranet for employees but maybe you recognize the problem en know what has changed and can you help me whitout login.

Thanks in advance,
Ariane

After searching further I found out the problem is Buddypress is not using the theme override I made in my (child) theme. Everything is exactly as described here: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/ and it worked before.
What can be wrong?
I am using a childtheme for http://acoda.com/dynamix/

Thanks again,
ARiane

Hi @ariane1001,

perhaps you need to echo the function ? Anywy, can you test this snippet, to ensure that fullname is fired correctly.

Add it to bp-custom or to your child theme functions.php.
```
function bpfr_user_fullname() {
        // uncomment below if you want this only for logged in users.
	//if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
		//return false;

	echo bp_displayed_user_fullname();
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'bpfr_user_fullname' ); 
//add_filter( 'bp_get_displayed_user_mentionname', 'bpfr_user_fullname' );
```
If you see the fullname in the profile header, you could remove the actual filter and use the other one. Just uncomment the line and you’ll see @mention using the fullname instead of display_name.
