Ok great! this is the code & it works!! ty – but if there is no “Avatar” uploaded you get the <a href= tag showing .. now.. I attached the screen shot .. how dow we get ride of this? and or have the profile image of the profile in its / Avatar place? here is the meta – name top_profile_photo.

add_filter( ‘fep_filter_user_name’, function( $name, $id ){
if ( $name && fep_get_the_id() ) {
$name = ‘‘ . $name . ‘‘;
}
return $name;
}, 10, 2);
