# Problem with author names

 * Hello,
 * I have a problem with author names in admin > activity. Indeed they are displayed
   in a weird form.
   See image here: [https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/6098/QrGnp6.png](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/6098/QrGnp6.png)
 * I would like to display the username only (“Yonte” in the picture example).
   The
   problem comes from WP User Manager, because when I uninstall the plugin, I have
   only the username that appears, as I want. This setting is changed by WP User
   Manager.This bothers me because it is the unwanted author name format that appears
   on all pages of my site.Could you help me please? Do you have a way to fix the
   problem? Or a code that I can insert into a file?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi [@nmerlier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nmerlier/) ,
   Good day, and
   thanks for writing in!I was able to see the issue on your site through the screenshot,
   but it seems that I was unable to replicate it on my end while using WP User 
   Manager. The author’s name of the posts in my site seems to be rendering without
   an issue – [https://share.zight.com/NQu5oQXE](https://share.zight.com/NQu5oQXE)
   Could you please try to deactivate the other plugins on your site, except for
   WPUM, and see if the issue persists?
