 * Hi there,
 * When the plugin is activated, the displayed names are the usernames instead of
   the public name (first and last name in our case). When I deaactivate the Plugin
   the names are displayed correctly again. The User settings are correct and it
   does work without the plugin.
 * Thanks in advance for providing a solution.
 * Sincerely, Karina

 * The website is still in development, so you’ll need the htaccess password. Is
   there an option to send this to you privately?

 * I just noticed, that all the information is in the users meta, but when I go 
   to the authors list of your plugin, the information is lacking.

 * We indeed have different setting on our plugin. We dont rely the information 
   from WP-admin > users.
 * We pulling the information from the setting of our plugin (1st screenshot). In
   order to show it, you need to fill in on that setting. Please see this as reference:

 * Thanks for the answer. Is there a way to import the user fields to your author
   fields? We have over 100 authors on the page and it would be a pain to do that
   manually.
