Reply To: Losing first and last name fields
Hi David,
I have tried out your code and there’s a problem. But first, to address your question about the “name” field, when I’m talking about Forum Name I am talking about the Group (which had been called Base Profile). That is what I changed to Name, for UX reasons. However, I see that the field I’m calling “Name” is field_1 so probably I did change it from Display Name to Name but, as I think you know, that is not the problem.
Regarding the code you gave me, that did solve the problem of not updating the WP First and Last name fields. However, it also prevented changes to the forum name or display name or whatever you want to call the name in the Forum Profile. I’m tempted to try commenting out the line:
bp_update_user_meta( $user_id, 'nickname', $fullname );
but I’m working on a live site with quite a bit of action and got a little spooked that I might change everybody’s existing posts/names, so for now I’ve just removed all your code.
Thanks,
Tom
