I have Reviews setup, and under HivePress \> Settings \> Users i have Display Name set to First name. No matter what setting i choose under Display Name, it always seems to show the username on the front-end and the actual review.

I have confirmed that the users that made reviews actually has a first name added to their profile, and the reviews are made after i made the setting to Display Name.

Any ideas?

This rule is applied only when the user profile is saved, please try to re-save the profile or change any details in the profile form, and try adding a new review. Existing reviews already have the author name saved so they are not affected.
