Force First and Last Name as Display Name

This plugin hides the « Display Name » field on the Edit Profile screen for all users. Instead of allowing users to set this field, the plugin will always set the User field display_name to their first and last name. If these field are empty, display_name will be set to their username.

Display names are set when the user registers as well as when a user’s profile is updated via the WordPress admin.

The plugin includes a batch process to update the display name for existing users. Navigate to Settings > Force First Last in the WordPress admin to run the update.
