Hello:)

We’ve been using bbres for a while, and we want users to be able to email each other directly. I would like the e-mail address to be displayed instead of the ip number under the every user.

But I wish they were hidden like here

How to hide the author of posts for unlogged users.

I am asking for help.

WordPress 5.5.1
Wersja 2.6.5

displaying everyone’s email addresses even to only those that are logged in seems pretty risky, and without specific opt outs would break GDPR.

you might do better to install

this plugin whilst old still works as far as I know

the IP number is only shown to moderators and keymasters to help them identify spam or users who might be registering multiple times

Participants do not see the IP number
