bp_displayed_user_id returning email?

I tried to post this but it got lost?

I’m trying to get the username like on this URL path

https://marketerfaves.com/members/jesse-tayler/

I tried a few functions, including

bp_displayed_user_id

but they always seem to return the user’s email address?

is there another function I can call to get the username like “jesse-tayler” as used in the URL path there?

If you are on a profile page, try:

$user_name = bp_core_get_username( bp_displayed_user_id() );

thank you!

I am trying to adjust some code that works for another installation and do not really speak PHP, so I’m confused why this does not work?

add_action( 'bimber_buddypress_memebers_after_user_name', 'bimber_buddypress_memebers_after_user_name' ); $user_name = bp_core_get_username( bp_displayed_user_id() ); function bimber_buddypress_memebers_after_user_name( $user_name ) { echo do_shortcode( '[truanon_verification userid='.$user_name.']' ); }

That code ALSO results in the email being used!

What am I doing wrong here that I’m somehow stuffing the user’s email instead of this first-last pattern I see being used in the URL Path?

You need to talk to whoever wrote the bimber code.
You need to look at the shortcode function for truanon_verification
It could be that it is working and the shortcode returns the user’s email.

ok, thank you — the plugin is ours, but the site and bimber is not so I will check and see what I can learn.
