On my forum when you hover mouse over a members name you can actually see the “user login names” which is very dangerous.

You can even see admin user login names too and as wordpress sites are now being targeted to be hacked how can we hide the user names.

 

I noticed when you hover your member names for your forum the pop up simply says  “profile”

 

How do I change this of urgency please?

not sure why you think its very dangerous. And security via obfuscation is really weak. have you ever looked at your author link in WordPress blog posts?

it shows profile because its the popup profile… you must be using the full profile page…

the wp targeting going on now is for the folks who left their login name as admin…
