WordPress – WP Snippet to hide and prevent users from changing account_display_name

Evening everyone. I tried to look around the web to find a solution to this but couldn’t really find anything related. I just need to write a snippet that prevent users to change their display name by hiding the field in the "my account" page or any other smarter way possible. Thank you

    Thanks for your question. You can insert this code into your theme functions.php or use Code Snippets plugin. Hopefully, it will work.

    function wp_disable_display_name() {
    global $pagenow;
    if ( $pagenow == 'profile.php' ) {
    ?>
        <script>
            jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
                jQuery('#display_name').prop('disabled', 'disabled');
            });
        </script>
    <?php
    }
}
add_action( 'admin_head', 'wp_disable_display_name', 15 );

    From your question I can assume that you are using WooCommerce. You need to make a couple of things done to achieve it:

    1. Remove account_display_name field from My Account template file:

    Firstly, duplicate form-edit-account.php file

    /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/myaccount/form-edit-account.php

    to your child theme folder

    /wp-content/themes/your_child_theme/woocommerce/myaccount/form-edit-account.php

    Then open copied file and remove html markup and php code related to account_display_name field:

        <p class="woocommerce-form-row woocommerce-form-row--wide form-row form-row-wide">
    <label for="account_display_name"><?php esc_html_e( 'Display name', 'woocommerce' ); ?>&nbsp;<span class="required">*</span></label>
    <input type="text" class="woocommerce-Input woocommerce-Input--text input-text" name="account_display_name" id="account_display_name" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $user->display_name ); ?>" />
    <span><em><?php esc_html_e( 'This will be how your name will be displayed in the account section and in reviews', 'woocommerce' ); ?></em></span>
    </p>
    <div class="clear"></div>
    1. Use woocommerce_save_account_details_required_fields hook to unset account_display_name field from the required fields. This is necessary to avoid validation error when saving changes on My Account page.

    Place following php code into your child’s theme functions.php file:

        add_filter('woocommerce_save_account_details_required_fields', 'remove_required_fields'); 
    function remove_required_fields( $required_fields ) {
        unset($required_fields['account_display_name']);
        return $required_fields;
    }
