    Hi there,

    I would like to have my members to be displayed on a First Name and Last Name basis. For some of us who is using buddypress and Boss theme on a professional level, it’s very important to keep that image. Having random names/usernames/nicknames makes it look less professional or not at all.

    I saw this post:
    http://geektamin.com/blog/533/why-update_user_meta-display_name-doesnt-work-and-how-to-use-pre_user_display_name-instead/

    But I couldn’t get the right field names to get it to work.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,
    Ronald

    Hi @rotju, to make the required changes copy member-header.php to child theme in SAME folder structure.
    Then change the function to:

    
    get_displayed_user_fullname()
    

    You can also take a look of this forum hope it will help you too :

    Does it change the user display name in all places (profile, forum etc.)? I would also like to have that change (my users should be displayed by their full name).

    Since BOSS theme is a pro theme it would be nice to have it as an option in theme settings (I’m using Social Learner).

    Hi @bcim, For forum you will have to copy bbpress folder in your child theme to customize.

    Thanks for your suggestion 🙂 We will think to implement it.
