Gravity Forms – User Registration fix

For the registration of our new users on speed-kini.de, we use the very cool Gravity Forms Plugin. It all worked quite fine until new users did not have a first name, last name or display name specified. I’ve had the hope that there will be an update, which may fix this problem, but there hasn’t been one yet. So I decided to fix it manually by updating the new WordPress user object:

Needed Action

Gravity forms provide gform_user_registered. It has the entry, feed, and user_id as parameters:

Custom Code

public static function userRegistered( $user_id, $feed, $entry, $user_pass ) {
   $firstName = $entry[ $feed['meta']['first_name'] ];
   $lastName  = $entry[ $feed['meta']['last_name'] ];
   $userName  = $entry[ $feed['meta']['username'] ];

   // Fix registration
   $res = wp_update_user( array(
      'ID'           => $user_id,
      'first_name'   => $firstName,
      'last_name'    => $lastName,
      'display_name' => $firstName . " " . $lastName
   ) );
}

This works fine for me  😎
