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…

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”
