Change the Default WordPress Display Name
05
April
When a new user registers, you can change the default population of the Display Name and make it, e.g., Firstname Lastname. Here’s a snippet you can add to your functions.php
:
// Set Display Name to Firstname Lastname function set_default_display_name( $user_id ) { $user = get_userdata( $user_id ); $name = sprintf( '%s %s', $user->first_name, $user->last_name ); $args = array( 'ID' => $user_id, 'display_name' => $name, 'nickname' => $user->first_name ); wp_update_user( $args ); } add_action( 'user_register', 'set_default_display_name' );
