  • Hi @gentle2309,

    That’s a great idea. The account page is set up to show the “display name” by default. That’s a WordPress core feature and can be set by editing the user’s profile on the backend of the site.

    You may be able to use a PHP snippet to force the display of the first name if it’s available. I haven’t tested it, but there is a snippet here that may do this for you.

    Another option would be to use a template override and change this with your theme. The file you need to override is /templates/myaccount/dashboard.php. On line 30, change this:

    
'<strong>' . esc_html( $current_user->display_name ) . '</strong>',

    to be like this:

    
'<strong>' . esc_html( $current_user->first_name ) . '</strong>',

    On my test site that replaces the display name with the first name that’s saved on the user’s account.

    I hope that gets you pointed in the right direction.

    Cheers
