I’m no longer able to sync WP and BP profiles after upgrading to 1.7. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing…[Read more]

Or does that field actually only edit the user’s display name? Regardless, if you change it the code no longer works since it’s looking for whatever page name you chose to create in the first place.

As I see it, however, the solution might fall down if a user edits their username in the profile settings. Also, as I understand it, the admin would need to create the page with the username after the user has registered.
