Hello everyone. I’m using the following snippet that will display the first name and last initial for users in buddypress. However, in bbpress it has no effect. Any ideas on how I could edit this to get it to work for bbpress? I’m so sad that something like this isn’t a default option.

$changeLastInitial = new changeLastInitial;
add_filter('bp_displayed_user_fullname', array(
    $changeLastInitial,
    'last_initial'
), 7, 1);
add_filter('bp_get_member_name', array(
    $changeLastInitial,
    'last_initial'
), 7, 1);
add_filter('bp_get_the_profile_field_value', array(
    $changeLastInitial,
    'last_initial_xprofle'
), 7, 3);
add_filter('bp_core_get_user_displayname', array(
    $changeLastInitial,
    'bp_core_get_user_displayname'
), 7, 2);

class changeLastInitial
{
    function bp_core_get_user_displayname($name, $id)
    {
        $name = $this->last_initial($name);
        return $name;
    }
    function last_initial_xprofle($value, $type, $id)
    {
        if ($id == 1) {
            $value = $this->last_initial($value);
        }
        return $value;
    }
    function last_initial($name)
    {
        $name_a = explode(' ', $name);
        // if there is at least two parts to the name
        if (count($name_a) == 2) {
            // replace the last part of the name with the first letter of the last part
            $name_a[count($name_a) - 1] = substr($name_a[count($name_a) - 1], 0, 1);
            // put it all back together
            $name  = implode(' ', $name_a).".";
        }
        return $name;
    }
}

Hi,
I suppose you would have to apply the same idea onto also the bbPress functions like bbp_get_current_user_name, bbp_get_author_display_name, bbp_get_reply_author_display_name, etc
