Hi there,
I’ve been doing a lot of research into hiding the required name profile field (since my users find it redundant and confusing), however, I can’t seem to find an answer on any topics.
The closest I stumbled upon was this BuddyPress ticket which gives this CSS code:
#register-page p { display: none;}
#profile-edit-form .field_1 { display: none;}
#signup_form .field_1 { display: none;}
to hide the name field and this javascript:
<script>
document.getElementById("signup_username").onchange = function() {myFunction()};
function myFunction() {
var x = document.getElementById("signup_username");
document.getElementById("field_1") .value = x.value
}
</script>
to automatically populate the Name field with their BuddyPress username upon registration. However, I don’t know where or how I should implement the javascript section. Any ideas?
Thank you for your help 🙂
Julian
