Currently, when students post a comment or question, their profile picture appears next to the amount of time lapsed since their post, followed by the content which they posted. However, the most important information that an instructor needs to address a student is missing: their name. This is clearly not intended as a privacy measure, since the name is there, if you hover the mouse over the profile picture. Nevertheless, this is not as accessible for the instructor/administrator as it should be.
Having the student's full name next to their picture would help the instructor keep track of them, especially in larger classes. It would also allow them to engage them on a first-name basis, promoting more engagement. Many instructors include interaction and engagement as part of their assessment for the course. WPLMS should make it easier for those students to receive credit for this by displaying their name.
Yes, we found that, but it is very poor UX and not accessibility-friendly. We have a blind instructor who uses a screen reader, and it won't read your tooltip. Usability best-practices would prefer a name in text, especially in a social/communications situation. You don't want an instructor guessing who he is talking to, or making a mistake because that information is hidden.
Alex, it seems like the name have always displayed within the unit discussions. My staff (who flagged up this problem) didn't inform me this was the case when they flagged the issue, so I only saw the problem from the admin/instructor point of view, where the names are hidden. What we would like is for the name to appear for the admin/instructor when he is answering or resolving comments, just as it does in the general discussion part of the unit. Hopefully this makes things clearer, I'm sorry about the confusion.

Please try adding this custom css in your wp-admin-> appearance-> customize -> custom css :
span.vibebp_member.tip:after {
content: attr(title) !important;
position: relative !important;
display:
inline-block !important;
bottom: 0;
background: none;
color:
var(--text);
font-size: 1rem;
padding: 0.5rem;
border-radius: 2px;
display: none;
transition: all .2s;
top:
auto !important;
left:
auto !important;
}
span.vibebp_member.tip{
display:flex;
align-items:center;
justify-content:start;
}
.comments_wrapper .comment_wrapper .comments_comment img {
width: 36px;
height: 36px;
border-radius: 50%;
margin-right: 0rem;
}
We have added this CSS. Nothing seems to be different. What was the intention behind it?
I've added a screenshot with the new CSS, it still doesn't show the student's name.
The only effect seems to have been to remove the padding between the image and the text.
