Or can I just add this to bp_custom.php?

function xprofile_sync_wp_profile() {

global $bp, $wpdb;



if ( (int)get_site_option( 'bp-disable-profile-sync' ) )

return true;



$fullname = xprofile_get_field_data( BP_XPROFILE_FULLNAME_FIELD_NAME, $bp->loggedin_user->id );

$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );



if ( false === $space ) {

$firstname = $fullname;

$lastname = '';

} else {

$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );

$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );

}



update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'nickname', $fullname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'first_name', $firstname );

update_usermeta( $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'last_name', $lastname );



$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET display_name = %s WHERE ID = %d", $fullname, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE {$wpdb->users} SET user_url = %s WHERE ID = %d", bp_core_get_user_domain( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $bp->loggedin_user->id ) );

}

add_action( 'user_register', 'xprofile_sync_wp_profile' );

Note the user_register edit in add_action.

Testing it now…

Edit: Apparently the function xprofile_sync_wp_profile() is already included in bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php…

Trying that with the same edit:

add_action( 'user_register', 'xprofile_sync_wp_profile' );

Edit: Still no separate first_name and last_name in wp_usermeta.

This is driving me nuts. Can anyone please help? Getting a first and last name in the database should not be this hard for a social network!
