Remove Full Name from profile?

[pincushion]

Hi,
Nice work on the theme 🙂

I would like to remove the first name from “users” profile page and have it say “nickname/ user name” instead?

Upon user registration it asks user for full name *required, is there any way of removing that? I don’t know about you, if I was going to sign up I would like to keep that private? I have tried to remove it from the profile fields in users/profile fields in the word press dashboard but wont let it be deleted.

Woocomerce and Memberships pro? do you have to have both installed? or can it be either or?
whats recommended?

Cheers

Instead of deleting it from users/profile fields, why not just edit it and change “First Name” to “Nickname/User Name”? You can then add a new name field and keep it private if you like.

Woocommerce is if you want to have a store on your site in order to sell stuff. Memberships pro is if you want to charge for memberships. You can have both, either, or none installed.

In addition to @adam answer you can set the default privacy for the field to be private from the WP admin -> Users -> Profile fields -> profile edit page.

And to display the username instead of fullname in members directory add this to sweetdate-child/functions.php:

COPY CODE

/* Display Username in Directory */
function kleo_member_username() {
    global $members_template;

    return $members_template->member->user_login;
}
add_filter('bp_member_name','kleo_member_username');

Hi and thanks for the response’s

Did that and works! 🙂

On another note, where do i find the code to change the profile layout, say from accordion to standard layout?
I have searched but not found…

Hi,
I am glad it works.
There is no such option to switch to normal layout instead of accordion
