Can anyone explain the difference between DB fields: nickname, display_name, and user_nicename?
wp_users table contains display_name and user_nicename columns
wp_usermeta table contains a "nickname" metakey
Thanks in advance.

They correspond to the fields in the user profile area. the user can fill all those out and pick which one they want on display.

Posted 15 years ago #Thanks Andrea, that helps :) FYI looks like user_nicename can't be modified within the user profile area.

Sometimes they are used in templates, but I find many users simply don;t fill all them out.
