## Сүрөттөө

This plugin hides the “Display Name” field on the Edit Profile screen for all users.
Instead of allowing users to set this field, the plugin will always set the User
field display_name to their first and last name. If these field are empty, display_name
will be set to their username.

Display names are set when the user registers as well as when a user’s profile is
updated via the WordPress admin.

The plugin includes a batch process to update the display name for existing users.
Navigate to Settings > Force First Last in the WordPress admin to run the update.

## FAQ.KG

### How do I update existing display names on my site?

Navigate to Settings > Force First Last to run a script that will update all existing
users.

### In my location, names are formatted as LAST FIRST. How do I switch the order?

You will need to use a custom filter to adjust the display order. See this code 
for an example: https://gist.github.com/kimcoleman/dc3227b9cebec79fa983261827df7485.

То, что надо! Одной кнопкой изменяет для всех сразу отображаемое имя. Сразу навёл
порядок.

What is really useful is that it HIDES THE “PUBLIC DISPLAY NAME” FIELD WHEN EDITING
USER NOTE: If only the “Last name” is filled in, it takes the username.

Replace one hook with another Find add_action("user_register", "ffl_fix_user_display_name",
20); replace with add_action("woocommerce_created_customer", "ffl_fix_user_display_name",
20);
