    Hi Steven,
    You can use the following code to disable the automatic privacy option.

    
    add_filter( 'bp_signup_requires_privacy_policy_acceptance', '__return_false' );
    

    You can put it in your theme’s functions.php or in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

    For registration customization:- I do not recommend any plugin. You can achieve most of the appearance/customization with simple css code.

    Regards

    Hi Steven,

    1. yes, if a plugin created the fields, those will stay even after removing the plugin.
    2. BuddyPress only adds “Full Name” by default. It is used as the display name on the site.
    3. The most recent version of BuddyPress will add the checkbox if you have a Privacy Policy page setup in WordPress settings. This is core BuddyPress functionality. Do you want it to be disabled?

    4. Our plugins do not help with customization(eg. appearance of the page). They deal with adding functionality.

    If you use our theme(Community Builder Pro), you can cusotmize the appearance too.

    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

    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 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

    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.
