[SOLVED] email address /username displaying as Name.

I've disabled my site for maintenance until I can sort this out.
I'm using
CB 1.9
Joomla 3.0
and K2.

Clicking "Users"

List appears with member emails at the top as the link to the profile.

CB Configuration Manager > General > Name Style = "First and Last Name Field"
CB Configuration Manager > General > Name Format = "Name Only"
CB Configuration Manager > General > Login Field Type = "Username or email"

In user profiles, many Usernames are the same as the email address. These are the users whose emails are displaying instead of the their Name.

I really don't want to run a site with user email addresses displayed to other users.


Components include:
  • Admin tools
  • Akeeba Backup
  • Banners
  • CB
  • Contacts
  • JCE
  • Joomla Update
  • K2
  • Messaging
  • Newsfeeds
  • Redirect
  • Search
  • Smart Search
  • SP Transfer (I imported data, including users, from a Joomla 2.5 CB site)
  • Weblinks.

Userlists display whatever fields you have set to display on it. Edit your userlist and put something else in the column instead of Username as you've Username stored with email address. Formatname field is generally the field you want to use for name output and is the field all my plugins use (GJ, etc..).

Thanks you.

So, I have the setting correct.

I suppose I made the error when importing data from csv. The username field propagated automatically in the absence of other input. I'll delete the users and let my old members to register for the new site by themselves.
