Success I believe.

Did 6 test users all with the same results.

See pics
Registered with
Username : testing6
Name: Testing Six

As you can see from the User details pic the Nickname field stored is still the full name but see member details pic and every time it displayed the username in the address bar.

ooo that broke it ?

Got this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=>’ (T_DOUBLE_ARROW) in /home/alpacasp/public_html/gaucinforum.com/wp-content/themes/ta_divi-et/functions.php on line 128

and Line 128 reads:
‘nickname’ => $info->user_login );

[format19]

Having said that it does appear to be using the username now in the address bar ???
Weird, I haven’t changed anything from the other day that should effect that?

I have read in another forum somewhere that they noticed this randomness with user registrations as well???

Maybe I will just have to keep my eye on it as people register.

Thanks for your help though it was refreshing to have someone at least try to help 🙂

Ok Just tried that and NO good.
It still sets the Display Name to the Same as the Nickname which is the Full Name.

How odd the code I got in the email is different from the code as pasted here in the forum ????

Hi Robin,

Thanks again for getting back, Not directed at you but that made me mad… >-|
I posted in the BuddyPress forum before posting here and they saidf it was a bbpress problem…. I have just had a week of various website problems and every one (except yourself) have only been interested in blaming someone else or someone elses plugin and in no way interested in helping fix the problem.

Rant over…. 🙂
I tried your code in my functions.php but unfortunatly it broke the site and just kept telling me there was an unexpected & in line 127

Line 127 was
” & # 039 ; display_name' => $info->user_login ) ; ”
'display_name' => $info->user_login );

(ah I dont know why it keeps changing what im pasting)

Any idea what is wrong there?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Robin,

I do understand I too have had other things to do.

I dont know what you mean by “the standard wordpress registration” do you mean the standard bbpress registration ?

I installed WordPress, I installed bbpress, I installed Buddy Press
The default registration page is now NOT the default wordpress it is the bbpress registration?
And by default the bbpress plugin ads “Profile Fields” of which there is a default set of “NAME” which you cant delete and IS required. I believe it is this field that is transferring to the “Nickname” field and causing the problem.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3mzrx6ry5stb7mh/deault%20Profle%20Field.jpg?dl=0

See the pic above

I have just run a test, i registered
Username : testing2
Name : Testing Two

Here is a screen shot of what registered
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxu0vysxd3edams/deault%20Profle%20Field2.jpg?dl=0

So the first and last name are definitely being filled out from that default Name field (dont really care about the first and last name, its the nickname thats the problem)

Any ideas? I cant go live with this site promising anonymity and then have the users name displayed in the address bar 😕

Thanks
Mark

This is perfectly fine or if it said
http://www.gaucinforum.com/members/japs/
that would be fine too.

I am assuming there is some code in the bbpress members pages that says to use nickname instead of username?

or is there some php to add to my functions to make wp register users nicknames as there username with a 1 or something.

I hope that makes it clear whats happening and what I need to happen?

Thanks
Mark

Now if I login as a different user (just normal member/subscriber) and I click his name (japs from any post he made) it takes me to his profile page where in the address bar it says
http://www.gaucinforum.com/members/john-powell/

This is a major problem as the site has to be anonymous to all but the admin.

If I go in and edit the user japs
and change the Nickname : japs1
I cant have japs as it wont let me

refresh the members page and the address bar now says
http://www.gaucinforum.com/members/japs1/

Sorry I thought I was but you know what its like when your in the middle of it 🙂

The site is gaucinforum.com
When you go there you can only access the home page the contact page and terms etc without being registered.

The registration page is standard bbpress with 3 additional fields (not really relevent)
The user registers with
Username : japs
Name : John Powell

In the background it has created a user with
Username : japs
First Name : John
Last Name : Powell
Nickname : John Powell
Display Name Publicly : John Powell

I am using the plugin BP Display Name to force Display Name Publicly As : Username
and I have added the code
define( ‘BP_SHOW_DISPLAYNAME_ON_PROFILE’, false );
to my wp-config.php
