Extended Profile Field ”Name” Replaced by Username (2 posts)

    Hi, I’m having a hard time with the username and Extended profile fields. I have an extended profile field that is required for users to fill out called “Business Name” in the base group. It is the first field listed. My issue is that when a user edits their profile, the Business Name becomes populated by their username.

    For instance:
    Test User is input into the Business Name field.
    The field reverts back to “testuser” after saving.

    I was also wondering how I could configure/style the profile page. I don’t want to display the username and instead, I want the Business Name to be the most prominent text. I’m finding it hard to find answers like this on Codex and in the forums. If I knew which files to edit, I would be further along. Thanks for any help.

    Ah, I got it. I realized I was using the default profile field as the Business Name. I also found BuddyPress Real Names plugin. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-real-names/ .
