Thank you, Pete. This is a client’s site and will be updating the site to the newest WP and PMPRO within the month. Hopefully this issue will be a nonissue at that point.

Thanks!

Nevermind – I found this chunk of code at the end of the pmpro-register-helper-fields.php file that for some reason was trying to update the first and last name. I’ve commented it out, and now first and last names are not being erased.

This isn’t part of the original plug-in code right? I’m assuming a prior developer wrote this:

//update the user after checkout
/*function pmproan2c_update_first_and_last_name_after_checkout($user_id)
{
        if(!empty($_REQUEST['first_name']))
                $first_name = $_REQUEST['first_name'];
        elseif(!empty($_SESSION['first_name']))
                $first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'];
        else
                $first_name = "";

        if(!empty($_REQUEST['last_name']))
                $last_name = $_REQUEST['last_name'];
        elseif(!empty($_SESSION['last_name']))
                $last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'];
        else
                $last_name = "";
        update_user_meta($user_id, "first_name", $first_name);
        update_user_meta($user_id, "last_name", $last_name);
}
add_action('pmpro_after_checkout', 'pmproan2c_update_first_and_last_name_after_checkout');
function pmproan2c_pmpro_paypalexpress_session_vars()
{
        //save our added fields in session while the user goes off to PayPal
        $_SESSION['first_name'] = $_REQUEST['first_name'];
        $_SESSION['last_name'] = $_REQUEST['last_name'];
}
add_action("pmpro_paypalexpress_session_vars", "pmproan2c_pmpro_paypalexpress_session_vars");*/
