 * Hi,
    I’m trying to use {user_first_name} in the New user registered email template
   but it just shows the parameter rather than their name, I tried with {user_last_name}
   and same thing. I can confirm the name does exist in the database.

 * Please use `{user_display_name}` instead of these, some parameters may not available
   due to limitation of user registration process, like default user registration
   will not have any fields for user first name or last name, but automatically 
   assign display name from user name.
 * Hope you understand.
 * Regards

 * Unfortunately this does not help me. I’m using Memberpress, first name and last
   name are required fields and they do exist. however display name is same as email,
   and using it in your template strips the @ from the email, so looks quite bad.
