Solved [Resolved] Disable "allow name change"

Thanks again for your reply.

I really wanted to not allow users to change their own real names. So I removed the fields from the profile.php file. Perhaps this should be a feature in a later version. Changing real names should be the job of the Administrator I think.

Thank you for all your help. I hope others with the same question will find this post.

Some people may agree with you and a lot of people would not agree with you. It doesn't matter what I think.

Perhaps this could be a feature of a new version. Perhaps, if other people feel the same way as you do, they might like to donate to the Kunena project to see if this could be made a feature of a new version. :woohoo:

However, in searching this forum for other topics relating to what you have asked and, in the three years that Kunena has been around, I did not find anyone else asking us to make this change . So, I would have to say, you're probably the only person to feel strongly about this issue.

K 1.7.2 does not have the ability to prevent people changing their real name. That's just stating the fact.

I've been using Kunena for a while and it has been a great forum solution so far. However, I am setting up a forum on a site where users cannot be allowed to change their names and possibly passwords. It would be great if this was an option but if not what code needs to be changed and/or modified to hide that field? Thanks!
