Make Profile Name field visible by admin only?

Hi there, I noted Buddypress 1.7 allows admin only visibility for everything except the Profile Name Field… ?
Any reason for this, as I want to run a website with users being known by their usernames only, with the option to show your real name on your public profile determined by the user.
Alternatively, is there a way to enforce that only usernames are to be showed on public profiles?
That’s how it seems to work when I login to the Buddypress support forums, so wondering why this functionality isn’t included as part of the plugin?
I’m hoping to find a solution to this so my site can go live!
Thanks.

Hi @gsj,

Add this code to functions.php file of the current theme.

`
add_filter(‘bp_xprofile_get_hidden_fields_for_user’,’bp_define_hidden_fields’, 10 ,3 );
function bp_define_hidden_fields( $hidden_fields, $displayed_user_id, $current_user_id ) {
//if not admin or if not the the profile of the current user
if ( !is_super_admin( $current_user_id) && ($displayed_user_id != $current_user_id) ) {
//add name field ( id = 1 ) to the hidden fields
$hidden_fields[] = 1;
}
return $hidden_fields;
}
`
