FAQ about The Profile Fields
First Name / Last Name 
Business Name

I can’t change my First/Last Name – it won’t let me save.

This question keeps coming up so we thought we would create a FAQ for this issue.

First, Last and Business Name are all user.account system login functionality provided by WordPress/BuddyBoss and requires either . (dot) , -(dash)  or _ (underscore).   

This means if you have any other characters in any of these fields – it will not save the profile. 

To make it so we could have Businesses display properly in the profile (Business Savvy/Small Business & Partners) we took one of the required fields and renamed it to Business Name.

For all Individual accounts – we are using the First/Last Name combined in that field when we do account creation.

For Business – We use the Business Owner’s name they used to purchase the membership in First/Last last name fields and then the Business they listed in Business Name field.

NOTE: Individual accounts, such as Newcomer, Starting Out, Up-n-Coming and WEIC Woman,  if you would like to promote your business – we have Business Savvy and Small Business memberships to support this.

We will review the Individual accounts to insure that Newcomer, Starting Out, Up-n-Coming and WEIC Woman are not changing their profiles to look like a Business Account type.
