Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

BP Display name is a very light weight plugin that performs a powerful function. When using BuddyPress with WordPress the display Name, or displayname, in the members directory can be different from the display name in the users profile. We solved this with a simple plugin that defaults the display name of all existing and future members.

Change the display name site wide, keeping names consistent thought

your site. It can be changed at any time to 5 different choices, those are:

  • Username
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • First & Last Name
  • Nickname

Simple, yet effective. The admin side couldn’t be more easy to understand. In the future we will be testing with bbPress forum name.
