    It looks like the separate username fields are because one is for WordPress and the other is for BuddyPress. Is there a way to have only one and have them sync in the backend? Because I see one under Account Details on the Registration page and one under Profile Details on the registration page.

    Hi Steven,
    Welcome to BuddyDev forums.

    Are you using BuddyPress or BuddyBoss platform?

    BuddyPress does not create a new user name. It uses WordPress’s username. So, if there is double username, It is a bug.

    Are you using a custom theme? Are you using any other BuddyPress profile field related plugin?
    Also, if possible, Please link me to your registration site.

    PS:- Please feel free to use private reply if you do not want to share the site publicly.

    Im using Buddy Press and the p[aid plugins I purchased from your organization, now on the user registration page there are 2 Username fields, how do I get there to be only 1? where every buddy press user who registered is issued a username that is both the buddy press username and the WordPress WooCommerce username?

    Hi Steven,

    Thank you for sharing the details.

    Can you please link me to the registration page? I can check and it may help me understand the issue clearly.

    All the usernames are same for WordPress/BuddyPress/WooCommerce. The plugins use the default user functionality offered by WordPress.

    Regards

    Username dield on the left is WordPress, on the right is from your custom fields plug and is labeled Primary Required on backend and no delete option.

    Hi Steven,
    I can see the issue. The Username in the right is actually the “Full Name” field of BuddyPress.

    Did you install this plugin by any chance?
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-wp-user-sync/

    By default BuddyPress provides a “Full Name” field which is required. Using the above plugin(or another similar plugin), you can separate full name into first/last.

    This is causing confusion on your site.

    I can see that the left site “Username” is the actual username, the right side username is actual “Field ID 1” which is used for “Full Name”.

    Please check.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi,
    None of our plugins do that automatically. Is there any chance you are using the WooCommerce integration from Theme Craft?
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wc4bp/

    Either someone changed the names manually or a plugin created it. There are only 2 or 3 plugins which does it. Our plugins don’t do it.

    Also, once created, even if you disable the plugin, The field will be there.

    My suggestion is to delete first name/last name field and rename the “Username” field to “Full Name” or “Display Name”

    Regards
    Brajesh
