How to Display User NICENAME?

Hi @kgw203

1. Could you clarify what did you mean by “author slug”? What is the usermeta key or column from the wp_users table used for that?
2. Use user.id placeholder inside JS template inside templates/members-grid.php file for getting User ID (ID for the current user card).

As soon as you provide the data about the author slug, I can reply about the place where you may replace the data.

Let me know,
Best Regards!

Hi @kgw203

Thanks for the details,

1.Sorry for the formatting, I meant <code>user.id</code>

2. Use this code snippet for adding user_nicename inside JSON data:
You may insert it into the functions.php file in your theme/child-theme.

function um_my_custom_ajax_get_members_data( $data_array, $user_id, $directory_data ) {
    $user_obj = get_userdata( $user_id );
    if ( false === $user_obj ) {
        return $data_array;
    }
    $data_array['nicename'] = $user_obj->user_nicename;
    return $data_array;
}
add_filter( 'um_ajax_get_members_data', 'um_my_custom_ajax_get_members_data', 10, 3 );

Then edit your members-grid.php template file. https://www.screencast.com/t/2nvNyRXEp

3. As an alternative way if you want to use nicename everywhere as display_name then please use this snippet inside your functions.php file.

function um_my_custom_user_display_name_filter( $name, $user_id, $html ) {
    $user_obj = get_userdata( $user_id );
    if ( false === $user_obj ) {
        return $name;
    }
    $name = $user_obj->user_nicename;
    return $name;
}
add_filter( 'um_user_display_name_filter', 'um_my_custom_user_display_name_filter', 10, 3 );

There is an article about templates overriding
