Display username by default instead of real name

  • The Bouncer tab of the plugin shows an option that allows user to choose a username rather than letting the plugin create a username with user’s real name retrieved from social networks.

    This is great!

    However, I’m searching for a way to display the chosen username by default instead of the real name. I’m working on a forum with intimate topics and don’t want my users real names to be publicly displayed by default.

    How can I do this?

  • Hello!
    You should add this code to functions.php

    function change_display_name( $user_id ) {
    $info = get_userdata( $user_id );
	$args = array(
		'ID' => $user_id,
		'display_name' => $info->first_name . ' ' . $info->last_name
	);
    wp_update_user( $args );
}
add_action('user_register','change_display_name');

    It should work for new-registred users, to make this work for those who registred before you added the code, their accounts should be removed & re-registred.
