Allow user to change their public display name

    Is there a way to allow the user to change their PUBLIC NAME.

    It can be done by the administrators in the backend, but I can’t find any similar option to allow the user do it from the front end.

    Thanks

    On front end, on profile page: Profile > Edit > Name

    Thanks for the quick answer.

    That’s how you change the user NAME only.
    Wordpress has the option to SHOW PUBLIC NAME of specific user and it give you a drop down with all the variables:

    • Name Lastmame
    • Name
    • username
    • Lastname Name

    Is there a way to use this option in the front end?

    Yes, if you enable this setting in wp-admin:
    Settings > BuddyPress > Settings > Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing

    This was already checked.

    This doesn’t give me the option in the front end form for the user to select how they want their name to be shown in the front end.

    Any other ideas?
