I installed this plugin and tested it as an admin and as a test user I registered as an author. On the frontend, as an admin, I was able to use WP User Manager to change my nickname and then set the “set display name to” the nickname I created.

However, when I tried the same thing as an author, I could not change the nickname. After I changed it and clicked on “Update Profile”, the name does not change even though a message says “Profile successfully updated.”. It only changes if I log out and log back in, or if I attempt to change it on the WordPress backend profile area.

Can you help?

WP creates a new user but does not save the nickname or role. I tried to edit the user but the fields still won’t save.

I need to give additional people administrator access and don’t want to simply give them my login info.

I have already disabled many plug-ins to see if there is a conflict (including User Role Editor) but the issue persists. Plugin Compatibility Checker doesn’t show any issues either.

Please.. How can I change it?

Thank you, & happy New Year!

Hey, I searched but could not find a code snippet that would allow me skip the translation of WP Usernames (publicly displayed names, etc.)

Details: https://prnt.sc/dgkGvx8MVdda

Depending on the language selected, your plugin is currently translating our posts’ author names (i.e., usernames). Some of the translations are pretty hilarious.

Would be great if you can provide one without steering me to buy your Pro plugin. Not for this one request, at least

Also, it would be great if you could update your plugin to ensure it skips the translation of Usernames automatically.

Thank you.

I tried this code but after user registration if I check his profile there is still username (number)

/** ADD DISPLAY NAME = FIRSTNAME + LAST NAME **/
add_action('user_registration_after_register_user_action','my_function');
function my_function($user_id){
  //do your stuff
  $first_name = get_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', true);
  $last_name = get_user_meta($user_id, 'last_name', true);
  $user_nickname = $first_name.' '.$last_name;
  update_user_meta( $user_id, 'nickname', $user_nickname );
}

On https://rainbowsongs.org/search-users/
it founds only by firstname but not by nick/username showing in profile

on group pafe https://rainbowsongs.org/user-group-rainbows/
doesn’t find at all

On both pages missed a Search button as with enter it is mostly annoying

thanks in advance

I’m trying to use the Members Directory Page to search for members via their User ID.

I am using a shortcode to show the user ID on users’ profiles, but the search doesn’t pick up on this.

Could someone help me solve this one? If it isn’t possible, my workaround is to set users’ User ID as their nickname, which the search can find. But then I’ll need to work out how to automatically set a User ID as a nickname when signing up, if anyone could help with that one.

Thanks very much
Daniel

we have been using this plugin for a while, and sometime over the past week it has stopped showing the nickname on the front end of the artists uploading their art.

‘Show “Nickname” who uploaded image’ has been turned to ‘on’, and we have the latest version of Contest Gallery Pro.

Is there perhaps another setting that might be causing this issue?

Thank you, I look forward to hearing back from you.
