So the new version of Laravel has a login and register system already built in and so I've changed some fields in the register page and now want the 'username' to be displayed instead of the 'name' on the homepage after login. Does anyone have a clue where this is attributed? Have been searching endlessly for this. Thanks.
The file you are looking for, is the app view file. This file defines a sample basic template for your website.
It is located here: resources/views/app.blade.php
In your case, you need to change {{ Auth::user()->name }} to {{ Auth::user()->username }}
