    @david13_13

    Hello!

    I want to ask if there is some way of remove the @username in the Admin’s profile because it shows my user for log in in WordPress.

    I have read about hide the Admin from member list and online members, but I don’t want that. I only want to hide the @username

    Thanks

    hi @david13_13,

    be more specific please.

    @username
    is used all over the site, and for anybody.
    Even if you hide only YOURS on a specific part, like your profile header, users will see your username on activities, or when they mention you.

    Do you need this to aply only to you, as site admin, on your profile page ?
    Or elsewhere too ?

    Hello

    I only want to hide it because it shows my username to access admin panel in WordPress too… A hacker only would need to hack my pass.

    It’s not possible to hide it in all the website?

    Thanks

    A hacker only would need to hack my pass.

    How would a hacker know you are the site-admin?

    The usual solution is to not use ‘admin’ as your username or display name.
    And use a very strong password.

    It is trivial for a hacker to get your username. If you are concerned with security, I would be more concerned with implementing security features such as timeouts/lockouts for a certain number of failed password attempts, making sure you have a really strong password, using HTTPS for starters.
