I just noticed that next to my name in comments, it shows "@[my wordpress username]." I don't know what this is or why, and can't figure out how to get rid of it. But I do not want it there. Can somebody help me? Thanks.

I run a website and all of my logged in users are now showing their user name since I did the update this morning.

@kym I only noticed it this morning (after the update) as well. I wonder if there's a way to reverse that update. For privacy purposes, I sure don't want my Wordpress username showing up for all the world to see.

@psina2 Thank you. But I'm sorry, I do not know how to get into that section to make that change.

I don't want it to show anything there. I don't have a twitter account, and I especially don't want it to show my Wordpress username.

Just disable the User Mentioning option. More info here: More info here: https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-7/plugin-settings/subscription-and-user-following/#enable-user-mentioning
There is not necessary to use the CSS code.

I'm also seeing this with the latest update. I definitely do not want it showing random visitors our usernames. I went looking for an option to turn it off and as far as I can tell there isn't one. I'm surprised given the sheer number of options wpdiscuz has that the authors didn't add an option to turn off this new feature.

I found another forum post on the topic, but the instructions didn't work for me:

I've tried both CSS options with no success.
Dear users!
This is a WordPress user nicename. This is for the user mentioning feature. The logic is the same as in WordPress. You can see the same for example on the WordPress support forum: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpdiscuz/
If you want to hide it just disable the User Mentioning option. More info here: More info here: https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-7/plugin-settings/subscription-and-user-following/#enable-user-mentioning /p>

@kym I had the same problem after the update.
This is what did the trick for me: Under Wpdiscuz > Subscription and User Following > Enable User Mentioning - Toggle Off.
