Allow Users To Set Profile Name AFTER Registration

    At registration I have these fields and these are all I want – I do not want to add anything else:
    1. Username
    2. Email
    3. Password + Repeat

    My problem is that usually when users register, they later want to edit their profile they may want to change display name manually to a string of their choice. So I added the “nickname” field to the form but it then makes it required at registration… which I don’t want. It is apparently a required field per User Profile Builder.

    How can I allow users to change their nickname under an edit profile page without forcing them to enter it add it during registration registration?

    Hi @wporguser69,

    For the user to choose their display name you can use the default “Display name publicly as” field. You can read more about this field here. It’s important to mention that this field appears only on the Edit Profile form (and it’s hidden on the Registration form).

    Now, with the “Display name publicly as” field the users will be able to select one from the available options which are based on the First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and also the Nickname field (if this field is added to the form).

    Regarding the Nickname field, and more precisely to your last question “How can I allow users to change their nickname under an edit profile page without forcing them to enter it add it during registration registration?“

    -> What you’ve described is possible only with the paid version of Profile Builder. But we are not allowed to speak about the paid versions here. In case you would like to have that conversation then you can open a support ticket using our site https://www.cozmoslabs.com/support/.
