Username only displaying for site Admin

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for the screenshots and the link to your site, I’ve registered to your site and the issue appears to be somehow related to membership registration and confirmation email.

When using regular registration process via wp-signup.php and after confirmation via email username is being properly displayed https://screencast.com/t/22L7jympSdnK.

Can you please check if my first attempt account username: bojanwpmu is added to your membership level?

Also if you’re going to have only one free membership level with access to content available after registration we could do this differently so please let me know ??

Best regards,
Bojan

Hi Bojan,

Thanks for getting back to me. Both of your attempts have the correct membership level. This will be the only membership level that will be available publicly. Any increase in level would be handled by an Admin on the backend. That said I’m open to handling this in a different way.

Hey again Kevin,

If this is the case what you could do is try to use “Default Membership” instead of a standard one https://screencast.com/t/8gMUKwao.

What it does is basically apply that membership level to all registered users that doesn’t not have membership level. By doing this you can allow your members to register through default WP registration which works (see screenshot of the widget in my previous post) and still have default membership applied to those members.

Could something like this work for you?

Best regards,
Bojan

Hey Bojan,

While that would work I would prefer to not use the default wp-signup.php page. I want to be able to keep the users on the frontend of the site so that they don’t experience the visual change of that page. I’m assuming that the issue is they never receive the WP generated confirmation email so that even though they are registered there is something missing from the DB. I did check the DB and I’m not seeing what that could be. Is there a possible solution here?

Hey Bojan,

Looks like I found the solution. In the class-ms-view-shortcode-login.php file on line 447 I changed ucfirst( $member->name ) to ucfirst( $member->username ) See attached screenshot https://www.screencast.com/users/klgrimley/folders/Default/media/c33b8d68-458f-4a0c-948c-870fcd4773ee I realize that I’ll need to remake the change anytime an update so is this a viable long term solution?

Hey Kevin,

Glad you managed to figure this one out ??

I’ll definitely forward this to our developer so he can take a look and even if we do not implement this fix some other solution will be added that will fix the issue with username not being properly displayed in the widget.

Thanks for posting the solution ??

Cheers,
Bojan

Hi Bojan,

Thanks for the communication on this. It helped me with analyzing the problem. If your developer mentions that this would for some reason cause problems please let me know.

Hey Kevin,

Will do, I’m still waiting for feedback on this one. In case there is an issue with the code you used I’ll let you know ??

Cheers,
Bojan

Hi Bojan,

Thanks for the feedback.

Hey Kevin,

Just to follow up on this one as promised.

Our developer already added some changes to how the username is displayed when using the widget in premium version of the plugin and the same thing will be applied in the free version as well.

Also your fix is good and it shouldn’t affect anything else so you can keep it as is until the update is released.

Best regards,
Bojan
