Possible to hide username in Account page?

    I am using Ultimate Member at my site for visitors to register in order to download materials such as ebooks. There are no blogs, comments, or user inputs. When visitors register, they need to enter only a valid email address and a password. (On the WordPress back end, the email address becomes the user’s username.) The registered user logs in using only their email address and password. Therefore, the notion of a username is unknown to the user. However, when users look at their “Account” page, they can see their username (not editable), which is the same as their email address. If they change their email address (which is allowed), they still see their old email address in the username field. As the username is never used, is it possible to hide it on the Account page? Many thanks for any suggestions.

  • If you really want it not to display you can use the following CSS:

    #um_field_general_user_login {display: none;}

    Hi Diabolo, I have a follow up, related question. I hope it is OK to append on this Topic. I decided users should not be able to change their email addresses. The only two items that users are allowed to do are: change password and delete account. What would be a good way to implement this? On the Account page, there are the links to “Change Password” and “Delete Account”. Nothing else can be changed, yet there is still a “Update Account” button, which doesn’t do anything. Are my requirements too trivial for the Ultimate Member plugin?

    Diabolo, I found your recommendation (If you really want it not to display you can use the following CSS: #um_field_general_user_login {display: none;}) very helpful, thanks!
    Would you also have a suggestion about how to suppress the ‘Login’ button at the bottom of the Registration form (which confuses users who are registering and who actually need to click Register).
    Also, at the bottom of the login form, next to the Login button, there is a ‘Register’ button I would like to suppress.
    This is especially useful for me as I have both forms on the same page.
    Cheers!

    Please ignore above request – I found the settings!
