Is it possible to bring over the first and last name from WordPress to the ‘Name’ field in Discourse when a user’s account is automatically created? Right now it appears to bring over the user’s email address into the name field, which doesn’t make sense. In our signup process on WordPress the user is required to enter a name, so we’d rather them not have to re-enter it in Discourse, if possible. I searched through the options/settings in the WordPress + Discourse plugin, but didn’t see anything.
