Change DISPLAY NAME to be the USERNAME

    Hello,

    Is there a way to change the Display name for the members to be their USERNAMES. Most of the members wish to use their USERNAMES, not their First Names. I thought I could somehow edit that in the registration form, but I have not found that form or the means to edit it.

    Maybe a snippet?

    I did check https://kainelabs.ticksy.com/articles/. Nothing about changing Display Name to be Username.

    Thanks

    Hello @itsdivin,

    Thanks for using our plugin.

    Please try using this snippet below:

    <?php
/**
 * Change user display name to username.
 */
function yzc_change_bp_display_name_to_username( $display_name, $user_id ) {
    // Get User Data.
    $user = get_userdata( $user_id );
    return $user->user_login ;
}

add_filter( 'bp_core_get_user_displayname', 'yzc_change_bp_display_name_to_username', 10, 2 );

/**
 * Change user full name to username.
 */
function yzc_change_bp_full_name_to_username( $display_name ) {
    $bp = buddypress();
    return isset( $bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_login ) ? $bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_login : '';
}

add_filter( 'bp_displayed_user_fullname', 'yzc_change_bp_full_name_to_username', 10 );

/**
 * Change user first name to username.
 */
function yzc_change_bp_first_name_to_username( $first_name ) {
    // Get User Data.
    $user = get_userdata( bp_loggedin_user_id() );
    return $user->user_login ;
}

add_filter( 'bp_get_user_firstname', 'yzc_change_bp_first_name_to_username', 10, 2 );

    Please add it to the file “bp-custom.php” in the path “wp-content/plugins”.

    Ps: if you didn’t find the file “bp-custom.php”, just create a new one.

    Let me know if it worked fine for you ??

    You are welcome.

    Best Regards, KaineLabs Team.
