Show username and instead of full name in member directory

[oneder22]

I’m trying to display the member’s username instead of full name in the member directory (members-loop.php). I’ve already tried the Buddypress Usernames Only plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only) and it has no effect on my site. I’ve also seen the instructions at https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/avoid-using-real-names-on-sweet-date-theme but this is only for the profile page, which I’m fine with showing the full name. I only the need the full name hidden and username shown on the member directory.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hello,

You can first take a look at this:

http://buddypress.org/support/topic/display-username-in-members-directory/

then

the code that shows the user names is:

COPY CODE

function render_bp_meta()
    {
        global $kleo_config;
        $output = array();
        
        if (get_member_age(bp_get_member_user_id())) {
            $output['age'] = apply_filters('kleo_bp_meta_after_age', get_member_age(bp_get_member_user_id()));
        }
        //fields to show
        $fields_arr = $kleo_config['bp_members_loop_meta'];
        
        
        //user private fields
        $private_fields = array();
        if (function_exists('bp_xprofile_get_hidden_fields_for_user')) {
          $private_fields = bp_xprofile_get_hidden_fields_for_user(bp_get_member_user_id());
        }
        if (!empty($private_fields))
        {
            //get the fields ids that will be displayed on members list
            if ( false === ( $fields_id_arr = get_transient( 'kleo_bp_meta_fields' ) ) ) {

                $fields_id_arr = array();

                foreach ($fields_arr as $val)
                {
                    if (get_profile_id_by_name($val))
                    {
                        $fields_id_arr[$val] = get_profile_id_by_name($val);
                    }
                }

                set_transient( 'kleo_bp_meta_fields', $fields_id_arr, 60*60*12 );
            }
            if (!empty($fields_id_arr))
            {
                //fields that will actually display
                $show_fields = array_diff($fields_id_arr, $private_fields);
                if (!empty($show_fields))
                {
                    $fields_arr_inv = array_flip($fields_id_arr);

                    foreach ($show_fields as $key => $val):
                       if(bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field='.$fields_arr_inv[$val] )):
                           $output[] =  bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field='.$fields_arr_inv[$val] );
                       endif;
                    endforeach;
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            foreach ($fields_arr as $key => $val):
                if(bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field='.$val )):
                    $output[] =  bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field='.$val );
                endif;
            endforeach;
        }
        
        $output = apply_filters('kleo_bp_meta_fields',$output);
        if (is_array($output)) {
            $output_str = '<p class="date">'. implode(" / ", $output).'</p>';
        }
        else {
            $output_str = '';
        }
        echo '<div class="search-meta">';
          echo apply_filters('kleo_bp_members_dir_name','<h5 class="author"><a href="'. bp_get_member_permalink().'">'. bp_get_member_name().'</a></h5>');
          echo $output_str;
        echo '</div>';
    }

and replace

COPY CODE

bp_get_member_name()
/pre>

with

<pre>
bp_core_get_username()

You just need to add the modified code with the new function in your functions.php file from your child theme.

Let me know if this works.

Thank you,
