URGENT – Nickname displays in address bar

    Hi, I have an URGENT problem, I have created the buddypress forum which HAS to be ONLY accessible by members and is to be COMPLETELY anonymous to all members (only admin to see real names and emails).

    Unfortunately when a user registers the Nickname field is auto populated from the users name which means when you click on there username and it takes you to the members page in the address bar it displays their real name :-O
    I have manually changed the users nickname to be their username+1 and that now displays in the address bar.

    Is there a function or something I can put in to change this as I cant be going in and manually editing all users as they register.

    Hi @format19

    You mention ‘the forum’. That’s bbPress and not BuddyPress functionality. Have you tried asking on their support forum?

    You could use this plugin: https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-usernames-only

    Which extends across to the bbPress side of a BuddyPress install. Note that by default, display names are enabled in the member header on profile pages. If you prefer usernames to be shown everywhere, add the following snippet to your wp-config.php file:

    define( 'BP_SHOW_DISPLAYNAME_ON_PROFILE', false );
