I’m using the Members (Users) Addon so that people are required to be logged in before signing up. It works great and as expected. However, it auto populates their first and last name when registering. I don’t want it to auto populate this information. Is it possible to disable this so they have to type something in?

Hi,
Sorry, there is no option to disable that feature. I can add it to our feature request list, though currently most new features are on hold.

Is there any way to remove it in the code? My client will have parents signing up their children for courses and the usernames will be the parent name.

In includes/functions/form_build.php, comment out line 67
$answer = $attendee_number === 1 && ! $answer ? htmlspecialchars( stripslashes( $current_user->first_name ), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' ) : $answer;
and line 72:
$answer = $attendee_number === 1 && ! $answer ? htmlspecialchars( stripslashes( $current_user->last_name ), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' ) : $answer;

Thanks for both responses! Is there a way to write this in the sites theme function file? or Do I just have to comment it out each time the plugin is updated? Thanks again Jeff!

The function that code is within is pluggable so you could use the Custom Files Add-on, copy the whole function (lines 4-264) into the custom_functions.php files and modify it there.
Two things to note using this method.
1. The custom files add-on is NOT a plugin and must be manually uploaded to the wp-content/uploads/espresso/ folder.
2. Although the function is pluggable it is a core function, from time to time this may be modified and updated. These updates will need to be transferred to your custom version in order for Event Espresso to function as expected.

Hi Jeff,
Sidney is a code genius! The function you would be editing is a “pluggable” function, meaning you could copy the entire function to a custom plugin, the custom files addon or a file called custom_functions.php located in uploads/espresso (you may need to create this).
The function would then override the default one, so you would not need to change it after every update (but you should monitor it for code changes).
The function CANNOT go in the themes functions.php, plugins load before themes so it wouldn’t work.
