@robkk Thank you!

Thank you for your offer to have alook on the backend, but to have an insight to the plugins adn site network you need to be a super admin. Please don’t take this personal, I really appreciate your help, but unless you are not an admin or moderator of this forum, I am too sceptical about giving someone that kind of access to the backend.
If you like to take the time we can manage this via teamviewer and VoIP 🙂

[tarnvogL]

yes I see, indeed, I am running a multisite and yes, it is possible to display the nicknames with a capital letter. But I am going to build a community and can not change the letters for every user manually.
If you find more information about this issue, please let me know! Thank you for your help 🙂

[tarnvogL]

yes, in the section “all users” they are all displayed in lower case letters.
I deactivated all my plugins, it is not their fault.

I googled again and found out that many other poeple have the same problem. It seems there is currently no solution for that issue :/

@Robkk

it is not the fault of the child theme, I deactivated it and used the default twentyfourteen theme, without any modifications. The problem still remains.

Maybe this information will help: In the backend, WordPress also displays all users in lower case letters. Do you think there is anything I can do to change this? Maybe it is not a problem of bbPress, but more an issue of WordPress..

@robkk
this CSS transforms every letter in a capital letter. But I want that letters like the “L” in my name (in this forum) should be written in a capital letter. So maybe this is more a php issue ..?

[tarnvogL]

This is the code I use in my functions.php to delete the user links:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
function remove_author_links($author_link, $args) {
$author_link = preg_replace(array('{<a[^>]*>}','{}'), array(""), $author_link);
return $author_link;
}

You can try that, but as I mentioned, even when I’m not loading any modified .php files, I get the same issue. I’m curious what you can find out 🙂

@robkk
thank you!
To give the usernames some custom css, I added a custom class into the loop-single-reply.php
Here is the part of the code with the custom class (custom-forum-user)

[...]	
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_details' ); ?>
   <div class="custom-forum-user"> 
	   <!--- <?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />',  'show_role' => true ) ); ?> -->
		<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'size' => 150 ) ); ?>
   </div>  <!--- custom-forum-user -->

		<?php if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) : ?> 
[...]

But the problem still appears, even when I am not loading my custom loop-single-reply.php. So I think it is not an issue of that.

I also deleted the user links to their forum profile in my functions.php. But even this (I tested it) is not the cause of the problem with the lower case letters. This is everything I changed regarding the forum user names.
What do you think can I do to fix this issue?

[tarnvogL]

this CSS transforms every letter in a capital letter.
Actually thats a strange thing, I don’t have the CSS class “a.bbp-author-name”.
I made some small changes in the loop-single-reply.php, but even when I am not loading the modified .php file, the “a.bbp-author-name” class does not appear.

Here is the link to the forum: http://community.riseinnature.com/forums/topic/testtopic-3/

In this example, the “J” of julian and the “L” of tarnvogl are actually written in capital letters.

Maybe it is a wordpress issue, because when I add a user manually in the backend, only lowercase letters are allowed. But if you try to register on the front end, it will accept names with capital/uppercase letters. Feel free to create an account with capital letters and try it for yourself.

Thank you for helping me with this 🙂

@robkk
thank you for your answer, I already had this in mind, but this would always uppercase the first letter of every name. Is there also a way for the forum, to recognize any capital letter that has been written? For example look at my name in this forum. This is also bbPress, right? So it should work in some way.

[tarnvogL]

@robkk for me it doesn’t :/
any suggestions why?

I have found the solution. I pasted the code from NickMackz into the area of the IP adress, which was only visible for admins.

[tarnvogL]

@andrew55
bbPress should do this now by default like this site has it.

@robkk for me it doesn’t :/
any suggestions why?

[tarnvogL]

[tarnvogL]

thank you so much for this! It works fine 🙂

[tarnvogL]

thanks a lot! this is the correct php file 🙂
