Hi folks
I’m looking for a way to display the users first name + last name on my BuddyPress (w/Kleo) site.
I changed the Primary field of “full name” to “first name” and then added my own field for “last name” on the Registration page, so the first and last names of a new user are required to be input into two separate fields.
I’ve looked on the forum here and in several other places but haven’t found exactly what I’m looking for. I’m hoping someone has figured out a method to combine first name + last name fields like this, so that the full name of a user can be displayed this way throughout the site.
Any help with this is gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
kobrakai75Is there a way to achieve this by adding a function or some code that makes bp_member_name always display as first name + last name on the site?
how about this https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-real-names/

Hi sharmstr, I’ve tried that plugin but it doesn’t work right – I still only see a first name.
It also renames the “first name” primary field to “nickname” and you cannot change it.
Hi, you could customize this function trough the filter provided in it. See bp_get_displayed_user_fullname in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-template.php
