Hello.

I am the administrator on my forum http://www.doceshop.com.br/blo.....tunidades/ if you look at my name (Robert Machado16334293), appears in front of a large number . How do I remove that number? I've tried changing my profile, but it did not work.

When it comes to displaying you as a user, SP uses the display name as set in your SP profile. Now I have no idea where this number comes from - only you should be able to tell me that.. So - is it a part of your WordPress login name?

1 - Are you saying that changing your display name in the forum profile does not work?
2 - If it will not change is this because you unable to change ANY of your profile data?
3- If it is just the display name you can't change - what is the setting of the 'display name format' in the forum admin > Profiles > Options? And your own profile setting to sync the WP and SP display name?

It is not part of my Wordpress login name.

1 – Are you saying that changing your display name in the forum profile does not work?
The field change display name on my profile appears as a field is disabled (gray) and I can not make any changes

2 – If it will not change is this because you unable to change ANY of your profile data?

Can I change all my profile data. I just can not change the "Login name" and "Display name". These fields appear as disabled, a grayish color.

3- If it is just the display name you can't change – what is the setting of the 'display name format' in the forum admin > Profiles > Options? And your own profile setting to sync the WP and SP display name?

I did not know it was possible to make this change. Funny, because you solved my problem with a question. 🙂 I changed the format "display name" in the administration of the forum and changed the display name in the forum. Thank you. It stays a mystery why that number was added, but that's another story for another post. 🙂 For now I'm happy.

we dont add numbers to display names...  what do you have for display name options on forum - profiles - options?  that determines how the display name looks...

by default, when a user is created the sp display name is set to the wp display name...

worth taking a look in your database at the wp users column and see what is listed for display name...  and then compare ti to the sfmembers table, display name column...  does the sfmembers one have numbers in it?

edit:  so is this resolved now?
