Hello,

I am dealing with the following issue that I can't fully figure out. Users can log into the website with a Bitcoin Lightning wallet via LNURL Auth. When this happens, a username is automatically generated for the user with a prefix. The username cannot be changed, but users do have the option to set a nickname.

I would like the nickname to appear with comments, with a fallback to the username if no nickname is provided.

Additionally, I want to adjust the URL so that when clicking on the user's name, it redirects to /profile/username.

Is this possible?

Cheers Mr C

Hi,

Please note that wpDiscuz gets the value of the "Display name publicly as" option as the display name. Navigate to Dashboard > Users admin page edit the user profile and change the value of the option.

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂
We'd really appreciate if you leave a good review on the plugin page.
This is the best way to say thank you to this project and the support team.
