We are testing an upgrade from 3.4.0.beta3-dev to 2026.3.0-latest, on a staging server, and the only thing that looks out of sorts is that it won’t display username and real name together. [image] This works correctly in 3.4.0.beta3-dev, but in 2026.3.0-latest it doesn’t show the full name, only …

If the username and real name are the same it doesn’t display them both. Is that the issue? There is a setting to display them both anyway.

I work with @jmsachs . No, it suppresses the full name even if they are different. [Screenshot 2026-03-16 at 10.37.50]

I was afraid of that. It’s unlikely that there isn’t a test for this, though. Did you try safe-mode?

Username + real name not working in 2026.3.0-latest

safe-mode helped debug it. It was a theme that had “Remove name suppression on posts” enabled. Removing that fixed the issue. Thanks for the help
