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

[Steve Taylor]

FWIW, I use:

add_action( 'user_register', 'slt_default_user_display_name' );
function slt_default_user_display_name( $user_id ) {
	$first = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'first_name', true );
	$last = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_name', true );
	$display = $first . " " . $last;
	wp_update_user( array( "ID" => $user_id, "display_name" => $display ) );
}
