How to remove the username from the frontend? (privacy concern)

#1 · July 15, 2021, 7:43 am

Hey guys,

The forum shows the nickname and the username publicly.

The username is useful for mentioning (“@”) users.

However, some users first register with their real name.
Or even with their email.

That’s a privacy issue: many users complained about that to me.

I know there is a code to remove the username from the frontend, while still leaving the “mention” option available.

What is that code?

I searched everywhere in the forum but couldn’t find it.

Anyone on this?

I think it can be useful to many.

Found the code.

And the code:

span.mention-nice-name {

display: none !important;

}
