Buddypress registration slug default to custom

  • I’m having an issue using this plugin in conjunction with buddypress.

    My registration form includes the buddypress ‘full name’ field, which auto populates the ‘first name’ and ‘last name’ field when a user signs-up.

    However the plugin always defaults the slug to ‘custom’ in the back-end (this field is filled in with their username) and I have to manually change this to be ‘firstname-lastname’ for every new user.

    Is there a way to force this to always be fistname-lastname?

    Is this issue because the plugin tries to process the slug before buddypress has filled in the first/last name fields? and is there a way around this?

    Love the plugin and it would be great if there was a way around this issue.

    Thanks,

    The honest answer is, I don’t know what the exact issue could be. The plugin doesn’t explicitly support BP at the moment, and BP does a lot of stuff around user profiles.

    For instance, BP won’t push XProfile data back to default WP user fields (where appropriate) if you don’t have profile syncing turned on. Also, when a user registers, BP will only sync minimal data (possibly none) to the user database. Only on activation will the rest of the data be synced (again, only if profile syncing is turned on) to the WP user table.

    This is an area I want to tackle, and will likely be the “big” feature of version 1.3 of Edit Author Slug. However, I don’t have a timeline for that at the moment.

    Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you ??
