    How do I set the display name as first and last name without having to add the field “Display Name”?

  • Hi @lindagester,

    There is no such feature currently.
    If you are comfortable using the code, you can use add the following code in function.php file of your current theme.

    function user_registration_modify_display_name( $form_data, $form_id, $user_id ) {

	$display_name = '';
	if ( isset( $form_data['first_name'] ) ) {
		$display_name .= $form_data['first_name']->value;
	}

	if ( isset( $form_data['last_name'] ) ) {
		$display_name .= ' ' . $form_data['last_name']->value;
	}
	$userdata = array(
		'ID'           => $user_id,
		'display_name' => $display_name,
	);
	wp_update_user( $userdata );
}

add_action( 'user_registration_after_register_user_action', 'user_registration_modify_display_name', 9, 3 );

    Thanks & Regards.
