Hello,
previously wordpress always showed me the nickname and not the username in the comments.

Now, unfortunately, I am always shown the username. How can I change this?

Thanks a lot

Hi @hobbyuser23,

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.
