Nickname's change only by admin

#1 · September 13, 2020, 2:56 pm

Hi everyone,

i install the Asgaros plugin on my site and i have a question.

Does nicknames can changed only by admins in dashboard profile panel?

Because in a forum if everyone can change nick this would create a lot of confusion if everyone change nicknames often

I don’t want to hide the control panel from users to leave the ability to change avatars

Does also possible to hide username under the nickname?

Thank you!

Hey @yoshi,

I already posted a snippet in the following topic:

https://asgaros.com/support/topic/user-display-names/

Just insert this code to only allow admins to change the display name:

add_filter('pre_user_display_name', 'protect_display_name');

function protect_display_name($name)
{
    if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        $name = wp_get_current_user()->display_name;
    }

    return $name;
}

Just let me know if you need some further help.
