    4. Append the code just before the closing PHP tag “?>”:

function change_display_name_format($display_name_format) { // Change the display name format to 'last_name - first_name' $display_name_format = '%last_name% - %first_name%'; return $display_name_format; } add_filter('bp_core_display_name_format', 'change_display_name_format');
