How can I get a “title” on this forum

[Ben Sibley]

I’ve noticed some users have a “title” attribute they can set in their profiles, but I don’t see it anywhere when editing mine. Any way I can get one?

I’m checking to see what’s the case for theme authors.

Theme authors (if they’re the listed author) get a “Theme Author” flag/title/banner, like plugin authors do. in their own support areas. Otherwise, there are no plans for custom titles.

Thanks! I was wondering the exact same thing.

Just for fun, go to https://wordpress.org/support/users/yourWPForumID/edit/. Do you see a “custom title” field? It may be visible only to moderators.

[Ben Sibley]

Thanks for the response!

I do not see that option. I got the idea from seeing the title field in this profile: https://wordpress.org/support/users/themeislesupport/

Some users have been given custom titles by moderators and that example with Themeislesupport was because they were employees of the company.

Okay I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Also, display of custom titles are currently disabled for various reasons. This may be changed in the future.
