My guess is that this has to do with the new WordPress 3.4 as that is about the time when it broke. We have an installation of WordPress with a form that would automatically fill in the email and the first/last names. The email automatic fill still works, but the name fields stopped working with the 3.4 update. The name field is set so that the format is "normal" and the field parameters are user_firstname and user_lastname.
Again, it worked fine until 3.4 so I understand that is what the cause probably is, just want to know if there is a way to make this work again. Thanks.
