    I am attempting to change the name associated with a comment from the users actual name to their "username"

    I think it has something to do with this filter, but this is as far as I've gotten.
    genesis_comment_list_args
    Default value: $args
    Applied to the arguments used in wp_list_comments in the genesis_default_list_comments function.
    How do I modify this?

    Sorry I can't show you example. This is all behind a membership registration process. Not public, but not private enough that people want their actual full names they they use to purchase access to be displayed when they make a comment. A username is preferred.

    Thank you

    Hi Michele,

    You should be able to edit this in the WordPress admin area. Go to Users and edit the required user that set display as to username instead of Forename Surname.

    Hope that helps.
