I have a wp site with buddypress registration, and on the registration page the form has the ‘Account Details’ section, with the username, email, password & confirm password. Then it also has the buddypress profile section, with the fields name, birthday, etc etc. I don’t want the persons Name to be visible to the public. I can manage all the other profile fields visibility except for the default Name field and it is driving me crazy! Not sure if anyone has has this problem. please let me know.

thanks for sharing. The problem is, I want them to enter their name, but I don’t want other users to see it, just the admins, which seems to be available on all the other custom fields, which is very strange 🙁

Yeah this one field seems to be a problem. I believe its a native WP field, not a BP field. You can hide the field on the front end with CSS, but it will still be visible in the page code if anyone looks:

.profile.public .field_name {
display:none;
}

I used CSS and never got around to finding a real and permanent solution, but there may be a filter to actually remove the field. Or maybe some PHP or JQuery that will simply return empty content.
