How to hide administrator name on posts

#1 · April 7, 2021, 2:26 pm

Hi Asgaros Community,

Do you have any idea if it is possible to hide the administrator name information in grey “@xxxxx” displayed by default on posts, just below the nickname?
This display could eventually open a security breach, by allowing exploitation of a cruxial information in order to access admin interface within Wordpress.

Let me know…

Hey @seleukos,

you can’t change the name that is used for mentioning. If you want to hide the username, you would have to deactivate the feature “Mention” (“Forum”->”Settings”->”Mentioning”).

I would advise you to just make your admin users more secure. Force admins to use a secure password and activate 2FA. With this settings it should be no problem to show the username.
