    I’m planning to set up a community and have experimented a lot with ProfileGrid and I really like the solution.
    However, there is one important point that I can’t get resolved:
    If you want to change your profile information, you are required to provide a first name and a last name.
    My users wouldn’t want that. Can this be changed so that first and last name are not required fields?
    Whether a free solution or one of the premium plugins?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello @phoenix43,

    You can make the first name and last name fields optional by creating a custom template. To do this:

    • Copy and rename the “default” folder from [plugin root]/public/partials/themes?to [your current theme directory]/profilegrid-user-profiles-groups-and-communities/themes.
    • Edit the HTML in the new folder as needed.

    To modify the fields, open the my-account-tpl.php file and remove the pm_required class from the relevant fields.

    For more details on creating and customizing templates, please visit the following link:  https://profilegrid.co/<wbr>creating-your-own-custom-<wbr>templates/
