No option to edit required fields in the registration form – unless you pay

After all the time & effort I’ve spent setting up the back-end of wpum, when I did a test registration, I can’t go through, it’s giving me an error message of, ” – is a required field.” After investigating, I found out that Username, Nickname and Display names are required fields by default; even if you don’t use them in your registration form. There is no way to edit this unless you pay $69. per year for the Custom Fields add-on. I could pay it but I felt cheated and tricked so I just used Ultimate Member. No modern registration form requires Username, Nickname and Display name all at once, and the free version gives you no way to disable them.
