Hi. I am on the standard edition. Ideally I would completely hide the username field during registration, and have it generate a name automatically. So for example if I enter my name as “Jesse”, then it automatically fills “jesse”, or “jesse1” if jesse is already taken. As far as I can tell that’s …

If your edition provides access to these settings, here’s what you could do: Activate these Site Settings: “Use name for username suggestions” “Show signup form username instructions” Then edit the contents of the Site Text js.user.username.instructions to be something like “Please base your use…

The site text edits are going to help a lot - thank you. I already have prioritize username = off If I hid the input field with CSS - wouldn’t the form validation still require a value?

The value should still be passed. The thing with display:none is that it makes an item invisible, but doesn’t actually remove it from the page code. So it’s not a secure way to hide any critical secrets, because a savvy user could still view source and get at it. But it’s a handy way to do stuff lik…

While this doesn’t negate the suggested usernames issue, I’m afraid you won’t be able to implement hiding the field. That solution won’t work for you on our Starter plan, as you will not be able to edit your CSS.

Understood, thank you. If this did work, it might be one (of many) reasons I’d upgrade. Maybe I should just propose a new feature? “Hide username field in registration - system generates based on name”

虽然这并不能解决建议用户名的问题，但恐怕此方案在您的入门计划中无法生效，因为您无法编辑 CSS。
