Name Field on Register Form

[frien337]

Hello Everyone,

I don’t want my user to have to provide their name. Is there a way that I can disable this field or even make it non mandatory?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi, You can add this script in footer.php just before wp_footer line. This will hide the full name in the register page and because it is a require field it will take the value of username

COPY CODE

<script>
var url = document.location.href;
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
//copy profile name to account name during registration
if (url.indexOf("register/") >= 0) {
    jQuery('label[for=field_1],#field_1, #field-visibility-settings-toggle-1').css('display','none');
    jQuery('#signup_username').blur(function(){
        jQuery("#field_1").val(jQuery("#signup_username").val());
    });
}
});
</script>

Thanks Abe, this has worked perfectly. I just had to make a small change by adding in a “/” before the “register/” text. Here’s the updated one for anyone who needs this:

COPY CODE

<script>
var url = document.location.href;
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
//copy profile name to account name during registration
if (url.indexOf("/register/") >= 0) {
    jQuery('label[for=field_1],#field_1, #field-visibility-settings-toggle-1').css('display','none');
    jQuery('#signup_username').blur(function(){
        jQuery("#field_1").val(jQuery("#signup_username").val());
    });
}
});
</script>

Hi Abe,

It doesn’t seem to be working 100% correctly. That bit of code has hidden the full name field just fine but when I try to register I still get a message saying “This is a required field” where the name field is hidden. any more ideas? 🙂

If you need to see my registration page you can do so at:

This is the default page without the code you have provided me with.

Thanks,
Ryan

Just realised my 2nd reply messed up when I pasted the code into this forum; it should have liked this:


<script>
var url = document.location.href;
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
//copy profile name to account name during registration
if (url.indexOf("register/") >= 0) {
jQuery('label[for=field_1],#field_1, #field-visibility-settings-toggle-1').css('display','none');
jQuery('#signup_username').blur(function(){
jQuery("#field_1").val(jQuery("#signup_username").val());
});
}
});
</script>

Hi, Should have used my initial code because now the javascript is probably not applying and not copying your username to your full name field

Thanks Abe, however, I don’t think that is the problem because I still get the same result when using your code.

Is there any other ideas that you may have?

Thanks,
Ryan

Try without the register condition and see if it works
