Emil Is there a way to make the display name default to the nickname set in a form?

Might be done, adding some code with wpuf_update_profile action hook.

Would it be possible to elaborate?

[php]
function wpufe_set_nick_as_disp( $user_data ) {
if ( isset( $_POST[‘nickname’] ) ) {
$user_data[‘display_name’] = $_POST[‘nickname’];
}

return $user_data;
}

add_filter( ‘wpuf_update_profile_vars’, ‘wpufe_set_nick_as_disp’ );
[/php]

Should work.

I’m afraid this did not 🙁

Working for me, are you using the latest version of the plugin?

I believe so, could this be the global post issue I’ve run into a few times before?

No, there isn’t any global $post issue in this case.

Just checked again – definitely not working. Is it because the first and last name are also set?

That doesn’t make sense, no it doesn’t depends on first and last name. Do you have this word wpuf_update_profile_vars in /class/frontend-form-profile.php ?

Yep. Would this work on registration, or only on updating a profile?

As you have it, it should work, I don’t find any reason why it’s not working. May be try with default theme? It’ll work only when updating the profile.

Ah that would be why! Anyway to make that work on registration?

It’s a different function for registration.
[php]
function wpufe_set_nick_as_disp_reg( $user_id ) {
if ( isset( $_POST[‘nickname’] ) ) {
wp_update_user( array( ‘ID’ => $user_id, ‘display_name’ => $_POST[‘nickname’] ) );
}
}

add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘wpufe_set_nick_as_disp_reg’ );
[/php]

Hi – just had the same problem and this really worked well – thanks!

Hoverer, it doesn’t work when I try to update the nickname. Then it still shows the old nickname and not the new one. How do I fix that?
