 * Hi,
    I deleted the first name and last name fields (the WP default ones) How 
   can I go about restoring them?

 * Hi,
 * How have you deleted them ? Maybe I can help but I don’t think my plugin has 
   nothing to do with this.

 * Just by clicking on delete in the profile fields section

 * When you install buddypress with xprofile module, you can see only one field “
   Name”, it’s not possible to delete this field. Maybe you installed a plugin who
   can delete this field. The last name field doesn’t appear if you don’t create
   it.
 * Sorry, but I’m not sure what you are talking about because on profile fields 
   you can only modify the fields you create not the wordpress fields. Maybe you
   have another plugin to modify those fields but with buddypress or my plugin you
   cannot.

 * mmmhhh ok, I’ll look into this further.
    Could it have been just the default 
   buddypress ones I deleted then, and not the wordpress ones?
 * Actually that’s probably what it is.
 * But in that case, there is something I don’t know how to do and you might know.
   The default WP first name and last name or even email, that we fill up during
   registration. How can I go about displaying them in the personal info primary
   group in buddypress?

 * I don’t know but you cannot delete this field. I don’t know how you do this.
 * About your second question, sorry but I don’t know how to do this, maybe you 
   need to ask better in buddypress forums…
