wp_users.display_name not updating on registration

Description

On our members area page here: ​http://www.hoppedupbeer.com/members/ the field display_name in the table wp_users is not being updated on registration, causing display names on the member page to be blank. I have edited the display name field manually to get the name to show up on the members list.

This is becoming a nightmare for us as we have to stay on top of new registrations to make sure their names are displaying on the member list.

Why are there so many places that the display name is being stored?

  • Milestone → 1.2.2

Are you using the 1.2 branch? The display_name field is a fallback if they have not filled out the XProfile name field. It should all be synced on registration in the 1.2 branch.

Please make sure you assign a milestone to your bugs or they will be missed.

This is working fine for me on the 1.2 branch. If I register then the XProfile name is being displayed on the members directory. Have you disabled the extended profiles component?

#3 @apeatling

Looking at your site it appears you have disabled it. I will debug with it disabled. Any reason for disabling it?

This issue still exists after a upload of Buddypress 1.2.2.1 files. When registering a new user, the display_name field of the table wp.users is not updated resulting in Member List display name being left blank.

Can you please give me a run down of options that should be enabled for this to work so that I can confirm that this isn't a setting on my side?

  • Priority critical → minor

I have traced this down to it not adding it until after the user activates their username. I'll change it to minor from critical. It should still add it before activation, to me, to keep things clean in the database.

Every time the user updates his Xprofile name field, the display_name field in wp_users table gets deleted and becomes blank.

This is a problem in my website, for example, with the bbpress login widget, which uses this field to display the logged in user name.

@vaelico Do you have WP profile sync enabled?
