GOT IT!

this works

COPY CODE

function set_default_display_name( $user_id ) {
  $user = get_userdata( $user_id );
  $name = sprintf( '%s %s', $user->first_name, $user->last_name );
  $args = array(
    'ID' => $user_id,
    'display_name' => $name,
    'nickname' => $name
  );
  wp_update_user( $args );
}
add_action( 'user_register', 'set_default_display_name' );

wow, that was easy. Really sorry, haven’t found this.

what I just don’t get to work is the display name. So I have first and last name, but how will it take this for display name?
here is a line to modify it, but it will always show the username, not the name which is set of first and last name

COPY CODE

//you can modify that line to change the displayed name to something else than the nickname
	$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $nickname, $user_id ) );

I tried that:

COPY CODE

//you can modify that line to change the displayed name to something else than the nickname
	$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $firstname, $lastname, $user_id ) );

thank you!!
