How does the member display name feature work?

As with all plugins, just having access to a lot of features isn’t enough. You need to know how to leverage them effectively to justify integrating them into your membership site. Here is a quick overview of the new feature.

When a user clicks on the member’s checkbox, the plugin is basically activating a code in the WordPress service that connects your WordPress users base with the chat, this can also be done manually if you do not want to use the RumbleTalk WordPress plugin.

From this point, any user that logged in to your WordPress site will be automatically logged into the RumbleTalk chat room. Now the new feature will control what name will show as the username.

The feature was introduced in order to present maximum flexibility to decide what username will look like.
