Is it possible to bring over the first and last name from WordPress to the ‘Name’ field in Discourse when a user’s account is automatically created? Right now it appears to bring over the user’s email address into the name field, which doesn’t make sense. In our signup process on WordPress the user …

@simon and I worked privately to resolve the issue and wanted to share with everyone in case anyone else has the problem. The issue was with the ‘Publishing Username’ in the WP Discourse plugin (see: http://share.ptlrdsgn.com/3d2P230G1Y0C ). We had customized that to a different user, but our user w…

@simon On the avatar functionality, it appears to pull from avatar_url. That function can’t be overwritten to my understanding and will always use the Gravtar URL. We are allowing users to update their avatar image within our MemberPress account. The URL looks like get_user_meta($user->ID, ‘mepr_cus…

There’s some information about how to do in this post, and the posts that follow it: SSO Avatar Not Updating - #17 by simon Assuming that get_user_meta($user->ID, 'mepr_custom_avatar', true) returns the absolute URL to the avatar, this should work. add_filter( 'wpdc_sso_avatar_url', 'my_namespace_…

@simon Hmm. that doesn’t seem to be working. I checked out the topic you shared and tried the other option as well. Let me make sure I am doing everything right: I have the force avatar setting checked in the plugin settings I added the above code to my functions.php file I logged out of Discours…

It sounds like you’re doing it correctly. You could try selecting the ‘sso overrides avatar’ setting on Discourse, Also, try refreshing your browser after logging in with the new avatar.

@simon Okay, it is working now. I think the issue is that when I logged out of WordPress it wasn’t actually logging me out of Discourse…so when I was logging back into WordPress, it wasn’t really logging back into Discourse because I was already logged in. Make sense? Any way to make Discourse force…

[image] apautler: Any way to make Discourse force logout when you logout of WordPress? Yes, it should happen automatically. It’s another conflict with the MemberPress plugin. See if you can disable the ‘logout redirect’ in the MemberPress settings.

@simon There is an option ‘URL to direct member to after logout.’ If you leave this blank it goes to the default /wp-login.php?loggedout=true. Even with this being the case it appears to keep me logged in to the forum though.

[image] simon: It’s another conflict with the MemberPress plugin. That’s not the problem. You’re forum is probably set to require authentication to read content from the site. There’s a bug in the wp-discourse plugin. The logout_from_discourse function isn’t working for private forums. I’ll …

You’re forum is probably set to require authentication to read content from the site. Correct, our forum is protected. Please let me know when you update the plugin and I’ll test it out. Thanks!

It’s updated now. It’s version 1.3.8 in the WordPress plugin repo.

I’m going to update the plugin’s description of the Publishing Username field to say that it needs to be set to an admin user.
