Passing the username from Wordpress to the username in Vanilla

jaymz

Does anyone know if this is possible using the jsConnect and Wordpress plugin? I believe by default when using SSO, the "Real Name" from Wordpress is passed to the "Username" in Vanilla which is undesirable when using @mentions.

Welcome to the community!

I believe you could modify the functions.php file in the WP Vanilla Forums plugin to do what you are looking to do. Replace line 328 with $user['name'] = $current_user->user_login;.

Let me know if that works. It might only work on new connections.

That worked like a charm. I just didn't know where to look. Thank You!
