[BUG] Can’t change Display Name in profile after update_usermeta

  • So I’ve updated my display name using:

    update_usermeta(1, ‘display_name’, ‘Some Name’);

    Now when I access my profile and select a different name using the drop-down it doesn’t actually change when I hit “update profile.”

    The only way to change it back is to use update_usermeta again…. Please help!

    I’ve tried using the default “update profile” functionality on other users for which I’ve never done update_usermeta and it is working as intended.

    It seems that once I use the update_usermeta to change the display name once that setting is forever broken in the user’s profile. Even if I use update_usermeta to change the display name back to the default value it still won’t let me make any more changes using the profile.

    Once I use update_usermeta on a user’s display name the only way I can change it is with the code again… it seems that the profile gets “stuck”
