    Hi Marcin, great plugin. Is there any way for anonymous users to be able to create a custom name and then be permitted to use that name on another device, like a mobile? I have no problem with there being two people with the same name, as it does happen. Thanks

    Hi,

    Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, it is not possible in Wise Chat. It’s because there is only one source of users across all devices. Users are stored on the server in one database table. The only option for you is to modify plugin’s code to disable username validation. This will allow setting the same username by different users.

    Best regards,
    Marcin

    Hi Marcin, many thanks for the reply. I commented out the line ‘check if the new username is already occupied:’ which worked on permitting duplicate names. However, once their sessions timed-out they reverted to ‘Anonymous*’ and did not allow the user to logout or login again. Is there a way to avoid this problem?
    I am wanting to upgrade to the pro version if I can get this issue to work.
    Kind Regards,

    Steve.

    Hi Steve,

    It would require a deep testing of your change in order to find what is wrong with it. In future versions I am going to implement an option to disable this check.

    Best regards,
    Marcin
