If Last Name field is empty, but First Name is filled

    If only Last Name field is empty, the username is used for “Display name”

    If “First Name” is filled in, shouldn’t this field be used to create the “display name” (even if Last Name is empty)?

  • Here’s some code to do just a first name as display name:

    Sorry, but i think this is not the solution.

    Currently:

    1. If “First Name” and “Last Name” fields are filled:
    The plugin will set the User field “display_name” to their “first and last name”. (GREAT!)

    2. If both “First Name” and “Last Name” fields are empty:
    Display_name will be set to the username. (OBVIUS)

    BUT…
    3. If “First Name” is filled, but “Last Name” is empty:
    Display_name will be set to the username. (NOT THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR)

    The expected behaviour would be that in case only “First Name” is filled (and “Last Name” is empty), display_name should be set to the “Firt Name”.

    Dont you think?
