    How can I get rid of this at-sign (@) at the user name on the profile page header and profile edit page header? This confuses my members.
    As far as I know to completely deactivate mentions is not a good idea cause it deactivates public posts on pinwand also.

    Using php needle in haystack function on template? Thanks for help!

    Hi Josh,
    Thank you for the question.
    The simple solution is to use css.

    Its hardcoded in html so how can I achieve that with CSS???

    My solution was: I copied the template to my child theme and just deleted the @ sign at the code.

    Hi Josh,
    You can use css and set display:none to hide it. That will not remove the text from markup but hide it(You need to set it on the element that wraps the @…)
