Display username instead of Name in profile

[JohnDoe]

I don’t wanan see any real names across my site, i used the

/* Display Username in Directory */
function my_member_username() {
global $members_template;

return $members_template->member->user_login;
}
add_filter(‘bp_member_name’,’my_member_username’);

Code for members directory, now i’m wondering how to do this for profile too.

Yes, but that only worjks on the members directory page, not on profile.

[SQadmin]

Then you have to edit wp-content/themes/sweetdate/members/single/member-header.php and change bp_displayed_user_fullname with bp_displayed_user_username

Will it still ask for the full name on registering then?

[SQadmin]

Well, it will ask it yes. Maybe edit registration/register.php and make it a input hidden type instead of text and set the value to a space or something

let me know if you solved it,,, i can use the solution. Wanted just user name displayed rather the entire “real name”

hmm this still shows the full name , in the about me section.

Go to Users | Profile Fields | and edit the name field. Call it Nickname. Then add a new field and call it Name and make it required and field type text box. Set Default visibility Admins Only. Then adjust Per-Member Visibility to your liking. That should let you hide the Name.
