How do I make custom profile urls?

    Is it possible to create a rewrite rule so the member’s url is based off the first and last name fields instead of the username?

    You may find it easier to amend the registration process / form — combining First Name + Last Name when the user registers and using that for the username.

    Agreed with Roger.

    You would have to do two things:
    * modify the registration template (/registration/register.php) to remove the username field.
    * modify the registration validation routine to use the first and last name as the username. If you’re already familiar with WordPress development, the appropriate function to look at is bp_core_validate_user_signup().
