I’ve added a field group with a text field, ID = display_name as indicated here:
https://metabox.io/support/topic/duplicate-fields-on-the-backend

But when a profile is edited using MB user profile, it saves the field value only.

The user display name is not updated. Is there another ID or process required to make display_name work? Thank you

I never could figure this out. User “display name” can not be updated via user profile?

Hi pza, sorry for the delay. At the moment, it’s not possible yet, because display_name is not a custom user meta. It’s a field in the users table. I’ll update the plugin to support it and all user fields.
