Hi, I’ve looked everywhere for this option but can’t find an answer. I need to be able to remove the @username from the profile of the keymaster, as it’s a security issue having the username on display. Is this possible?

Put this in the custom css part of your theme

#bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper h2.entry-title {
	display: none;
}

Thank you so much. I had this problem as well and your solution using CSS helped fix it.

Hi,

I’ve tried adding this to the theme css and to the bbpress css and neither worked?

Thanks,
Tess

it may be a load order issue, try

#bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper h2.entry-title {
	display: none !important;
}

That didn’t work either – I’ve tried it in the theme customiser, bb style pack plugin and simple custom css (wondering if I am doing something wrong, I am literally cutting and pasting?)

Just a thought, if I can’t remove it completely is there a way to change it so it isn’t displaying my username but instead my first name?

Hi,

Unfortunately I can’t provide a link due to the nature of the work we do (we work with people living with borderline personality disorder). I can provide screenshots but can’t seem to attach them here.

ok, so if my solution above does not work, your issue is site specific, so without visiting your site and an example I cannot give you code – in essence I can look at what the browser is receiving and see the correct code needed. You can contact me via my website

Contact me

and give me some access details, and I will try and help further.

However alternately if you know how to use FTP, you could try this

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

you will see that line 16 says

<h2 class="entry-title">@<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_nicename' ); ?></h2>

delete this line and save

then create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
