Display user full name instead of username

Hello @mohamettarik

Thanks for reaching us

First, you need to create new BuddyPress fields for the First Name and Last Name. And then, you can use this snippet

https://gist.github.com/KaineLabs/c21c7e83428224908c70a16548aa8918#file-yzc_change_member_username_with_custom_fields-php

Please change 1 and 621 with those fields ID.

Best Regards, KaineLabs Team.

Hello, appreciating support, you are great people.

I added the snippet to pb-custom.php file, I tried replacing 1 with first_name
621 with last_name

exactly without any modifications but not worked.

<?php
/**
 * Change Member Username with Custom Profile Fields.
 */
function yzc_change_member_username_with_custom_fields( $member_name, $user_id ) {
    
    $name = xprofile_get_field_data( first_name, $user_id );
    $surname = xprofile_get_field_data( last_name, $user_id );

    // Get User Full Name.
    $fullname = $name;

    if ( ! empty( $surname ) ) {
        $fullname .= "  " . $surname;
    }

    if ( empty( $fullname ) ) {
        $fullname = $member_name;
    }

    return $fullname;

}

add_filter( 'bp_core_get_user_displayname', 'yzc_change_member_username_with_custom_fields', 100, 2 );

i think missing something or i could not code fields names right.

Hello @mohamettarik

On the line 7 and 8, please use fields ID NUMBER instead of the fields title. Please check this screenshot to know how to get it >> https://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/15/2013/10/hovering-on-edit-ann.png
