hi @jake-reimer, you can do this. you need to customize member-header.php file inside your child theme.
Copy BuddyPress *members* folder from bp-default folder inside your child theme, and search for member-header.php file located inside members->single folder.
and inside member-header.php file, find this code,
<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() ) : ?>
<span class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
replace bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); this with your desired function name. either first name, or full name or DisplayName.
Cheers.
@jake-reimer,
if you don’t use bp-default theme, this advice from @prabin04 is wrong:
Copy BuddyPress *members* folder from bp-default folder inside your child theme, and search for member-header.php file located inside members->single folder.
You need to take the copy from bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/
Theme Compatibility – Customizing
well, yeah @danbp is right. Only if you are using bp-default theme, follow my instruction.
But it works too.
