    Can you advise me please, when a user makes an advertisement it shows theire full name on the advertisement not the username, I have had 2 complaints from users this year asking me to delete there account as they not happy there full name showing due to privacy concerns, is there a way advertisement can show usernames and not full names ? I know I can turn the full name off showing but I need them to start showing usernames not full names, as I do agree this is a privacy issue, is there a way around this please ?

    Follow Up – Please ignoe this topic, I been recently told not to display usernames as it can cause brute force attacks sorry 🙂

    Hi,
    Yes, you can do it. Need to modify the functionality to show default username instead of full name where showing author name with ads. Any user also can choose it from user profile settings.

    Could you mention which theme are you using? So that I can give you hints how to do it.

    Thank you

    I am using petlist theme, I have been told its not good practice to show usernames on listings as this leaves open to brute force attacks do you agree ?

    Hi,
    Yes, showing user name is not good practice. But if you want, you can do it. Please, create ticket from our site for theme related customization. Support team will help you to manage it.

    Thank you
