    Hi,
    there’s a way to auto-set the nickname to be First+Last name
    when an user create an account

    by default nickname is like the username

    thanks

    Hi @stefanoulivieri

    You can try adding the following code snippet to your theme/child-theme’s functions.php file or use the Code Snippet plugin to run the code:

    add_action( 'um_registration_complete', 'um_100521_change_nickname' ,10, 2 );
function um_100521_change_nickname( $user_id, $args ){
   
    if( isset( $args['first_name'] ) &&  isset( $args['last_name'] ) ){

        $nickname = $args['first_name'] . " " . $args['last_name'];
        update_user_meta( $user_id, "nickname", $nickname );
       
    }   
}

    The above code will make the First + Last Name a Nickname.
