 * In the default WordPress profile, the display name is selected from a <select
   > menu that’s dynamically generated based on the inputted nickname.
 * This doesn’t seem to happen with FEU. I have to submit the form for the nickname
   to populate the display name.
 * Right now, I’m researching a little javascript or else how to force the display
   name to take the nickname value so I can bypass the select field altogether.
 * Related question here:

 * I’ve figured out how to “force” the nickname as the display_name.
 * I mimicked WordPress’s default “edit profile” page using a little jQuery. Whatever
   value is input into the nickname field will automatically be inputted into display_name
   text box. I replaced the select box with a text box since the value will always
   be the inputted nickname.
 * Just copy and paste the following into your custom template page:
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       global $feu;
   
       $user = wp_get_current_user();
       $update_status = null;
       $user_avatar_enabled = $feu->is_user_avatar_enabled();
   
       if (!empty($_POST)) {
       	$update_status = $feu->update_user_settings($user, $_POST);
       }
   
       if ($user_avatar_enabled) {
       	$feu->enqueue_user_avatar_resources();
       }
   
       feu_header();
   
       ?>
   
       <?php feu_box_(); ?>
   
       	<?php feu_form_message($update_status); ?>
   
       	<div class="feu-form">
   
       		<?php
       			if ($user_avatar_enabled) {
       				user_avatar_form($user);
       			}

 * Any feedback from the author would be appreciated. I’m guessing I should be using
   a filter.
