Code Improvement Change Author name to show display name rather than XF username

[Menashe Kestenbaum]

A lot of our forum users have created unique usernames for themselves, as people often do on forums. However, a handful of the users in our community are also authors on the Wordpress side of the site. We used to have their full names displayed as the authors on Wordpress, for the sake of being professional. However, now that we've integrated XF- Wordpress with XenWord (which is otherwise great, btw) all their names appear as their original, silly forum usernames.

In the Wordpress profile page, there's the option of choosing to Display Name as either a nickname, a combination of first and last name, or the actual username. I tried choosing to display as nickname or first and last name but it will never change from the username anymore. Is there any way around this?

Hi

I moved this thread into the suggestion forum so it can be monitored. This is a function that isn't filled with very many options and maybe needs expansion.
