[wp-hackers] Change default display name for new users

[Otto]

Put this in a plugin or something similar.

add_filter('pre_user_display_name','default_display_name');
function default_display_name($name) {
if ( isset( $_POST['display_name'] ) )
 return sanitize_text_field( $_POST['display_name'] );

if ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) ) {
 $name = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['first_name'] );
if ( isset( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
 $name .= ' '. sanitize_text_field( $_POST['last_name'] );
}
 return $name;
}

That will change the default display name at the time of user creation to
be firstname lastname.
