Simple solution to Blocking usernames not working
-
I have realised that sometimes, when customers or admins change their display name to a secondary option, the function to block usernames does not work.
When you check the user’s profile on Admin area, you can see the greyed out (cannot be changed) username. But if the user changes their display name to another option, then the function stops blocking.
So I was checking the logs in my traffic logs and noticed that the user I was trying to block had changed their display name to a different one (he chose “firstname lastname”). I copied that into the username blocking options and I think now it began to work as expected.
Not a question topic, but a tip for other who are facing this problem. All other threads I found were closed to comments, so I decided to make this new on on an informative attitude.
All the best to everyone
