Full Version: Disable Change Username and Email Function
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I need to be able to remove the user options of allowing them to:

'Change Username'
and
'Change Email'

I guess it is a case of me removing the links shown in the User Control Panel | Your Profile area.
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

I will also need to remove the functionality of a user changing their email address when clicking on 'Edit Profile'.

Hope this makes sense
Many thanks in advance.

For usernames: http://community.mybb.com/thread-81310.html
To disable Changing Username:

ACP >> Users & Groups >> Groups >> Select Group >> Users & Permissions >> Un Check the box for "Can change username?"

but by default, only the staff group has this option enabled... general members cannot change the username...


you might need a plugin to disallow Changing Email to specific groups... however if you want to completely remove that option from your forum,

ACP >> Templates & Style >> Templates >> User Control Panel Templates >> usercp_nav_profile

remove the part for change email...

<div><a href="usercp.php?action=email" class="usercp_nav_item usercp_nav_email">{$lang->ucp_nav_change_email}</a></div>
Thank you both.
That has really helped me and much appreciated.
