Let members change their first_name and last_name in WP user's profile

    Hello,

    I’m using BP 1.2.3 on a WordPress 2.9.2 install with the WP-FB-AutoConnect plugin.

    On registration, WP-FB-AutoConnect automatically set the user first_name and last_name and I like that. However, once registred users can not change these first_name and last_name when editing their BP profile.

    Is it possible to let members change the WP user data in adition the the BP profile fields ?

    Ok, I eventually found a workaround.

    The below code will update firstname and lastname fields in the BP member profile upon user registration :


    
add_action('user_register', 'my_user_register');
    
function my_user_register($user_id)
    
{
    
if ( function_exists( 'xprofile_set_field_data' ) ) {
    
$firstname = get_usermeta( $user_id, 'first_name' );
    
$lastname = get_usermeta( $user_id, 'last_name' );
    
xprofile_set_field_data( 'firstname', $user_id, $firstname );
    
xprofile_set_field_data( 'lastname', $user_id, $lastname );
    
}
    
}
