When users on my site sign up using the forum signup, it successfully integrates them into wordpress, but they do not have a nickname, so all comments appear as Anonymous.

Normally wordpress would automatically set the display name default to be the login name, but they dont seem to for this.

Any way i could edit the BBpress files to make wp have a name?

I too would like a solution to this. There is a plugin available to do this but it doesn’t work on wordpress 2.5.1. I think I may just have to hack the bbPress registraton queries.

WordPress doesn’t fall back to the regular user name when there’s no nickname? Weird. I’ve been out of touch with the WordPress side for too long perhaps.

This might be something Sam overlooked in the integration process. We’ll have to ask him when he gets back next week.

update: see this post for a fix:
