Display Username – When activity disabled

I have now searched the web and couldn’t find a solution. So here the question comes.

On my webpage I use buddypress and I don’t want the activity part of buddypress so I choosed to disabled it. But when disabling the activity part of buddypress, the username disapeares on the profile page and that’s bad because I need it to get shown. I figured out why it happens, but I need to find out how i can change it in a way which will not override it on future updates.

The programming who make the username disabled when activity not active is this. It is found in the members-header.php (member > single folder)
```
<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() ) : ?>*/
	<span class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>  
```
So yes I understand how the code works, but need a “update not overriding solution” maybe it colud be made with remove_action in function.php. But I can’t figure out the right and best way to do it.

Information:
Version of WordPress = 4.7
Version of BuddyPress = 2.7.4
I can’t provide link to the webpage, because i’m testing locally at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

you can test this within your themes function.php:
```
add_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta', 'bp_info_viewer' );

function bp_info_viewer() {
if (function_exists('bp_displayed_user_id')) {
    $user = new WP_User( bp_displayed_user_id() );
	echo '<span class="user-loginname">';
	echo $user->user_login;
	echo '</span>';
   }
}
```
within your css you can style .user-loginname { ... }

Hope this help
