 * Is there a filter for setting a fallback user name if one does not exist? I have
   site where user enrolment is initially by email address. User name is not updated
   until after registration.

 * [@diggeddy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diggeddy/) – Absolutely, it’s
   actually been there hidden the whole time. Seems we need to document that better
   somewhere.
 * Use ||
 * `Hey {{first_name||there}},`
 * Hope that helps.
