We will explain the code introduced in the HivePress code recipe.

Removed first and last name fields from user profile input fields

<?php
add_filter(
	'hivepress/v1/forms/user_update',
	function( $form ) {
		unset( $form['fields']['first_name'] );
		unset( $form['fields']['last_name'] );

		return $form;
	},
	1000
);

Add to function.php

The code is added to function.php.

• Create a child theme and add it to function.php
• Added using the code snippets plugin

Please edit function.php in one of two ways.

Finally, go to Settings > Permalinks and click the [Update] button to reload the permalinks.
