Here are two different methods. Put one of them in your active theme’s functions.php file.
/**
* Displays the author's name as initials
*/
add_filter( 'site-reviews/get/review', function( $review ) {
if( !is_admin() ) {
preg_match_all( '/(?<=\s|\b)\pL/u', $review->author, $matches );
$initials = implode( '. ', $matches[0] ).'.';
$review->author = strtoupper( $initials );
}
return $review;
});
/**
* Masks the author's name with asterisks
*/
add_filter( 'site-reviews/get/review', function( $review ) {
if( !is_admin() ) {
$author = &$review->author;
$author = mb_substr( $author, 0, 1 ).'****'.mb_substr( $author, -1 );
}
return $review;
});
