How can I remove the @name from all profiles?

[vladislav]

I want to remove (not hide!!!) the ”@name” that appears above the main profile picture in members profiles. It appears like this when inspecting the element in the browser <span class="user-nicename">@sandra</span> . How can I remove the @name from all profiles? Thank you.

I tried to use the solution I found in internet (added special code to the bp-custom.php file), but it did not work. So it may be the theme’s problem. The code I talked about I show you below:

/* remove @username from the profile header */

 

function bpfr_remove_mention_from_profile() {

 

echo ‘<style> h2.user-nicename { display:none; } </style>’; // hide the h2 containing the @

 

if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {  // be sure we get the right user_id

$user_id = ‘displayed: ‘. bp_displayed_user_id();

} else {

$user_id = ‘get_member_user: ‘. bp_get_member_user_id();

}

 

remove_filter( ‘bp_get_displayed_user_mentionname’, bp_activity_get_user_mentionname( bp_displayed_user_id() ) );

 

}

add_filter( ‘bp_get_displayed_user_mentionname’, ‘bpfr_remove_mention_from_profile’ );

Hello, just disable the mention feature at Settings – Buddypress 🙂

Your answer is not clear or wrong. I could not disable the mention feature at Settings – Buddypress, because there is no one. In any case, I do not see it. If there is exist – give me the name of it and screenshot. And once again – I want to remove (not hide!!!) the ”@name” that appears above the main profile picture in members profiles. I want to remove only this one thing, not the bundle of things.

Hello, then we need to change it at the template, I can do this for you if you share ftp access 🙂

Hope this reply will be hidden because I show login-pass information. Please, confirm that nobody sees this message except you.

Can you tell me what changes you will do with template files?

While disabling displaying username (@name), could you also make changes to autogenerated profile links? Right now they look like https://animematch.com/members/sweetadmin/ . The “sweetadmin” part is the username too. Can you change it to something else? For example, can we use member’s Id in this link instead of username?

Hi,

To confirm your above reply is marked as private and only you and Seven^thQueen support staff can see the content.

I have copied cover-image-header.php from the SweetDate parent theme

/wp-content/themes/sweetdate/buddypress/members/single/cover-image-header.php

To the SweetDate Child theme

/wp-content/themes/sweetdate-child/buddypress/members/single/cover-image-header.php

I removed line 48 for you that had the below code which generated the @username text on the individual profile (see screenshots)

<span class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_username(); ?></span>

With regards to changing the BuddyPress profile URL this may be problematic and cause performance issues given how BuddyPress activity data is stored. If you wanted to achieve this custom development then this post would be a good starting point https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-profile-url-uses-the-username-can-that-be-changed/.

Thanks,

Kieran
