Description
The Smart Custom Display Name Plugin allows you to set your Display Name to anything you like
Usage
The «Display Name» is the name shown as post author – e.g. «posted by John Doe». WordPress only allows you to select from a few given values. This plugin changes the Display Name field to a regular text input field where you can type in anything you like. There are no settings. Just install and activate.

FAQ
-
What about an empty Display name?
-
WordPress does not allow an empty Display name and resets the Display name to the Username on saving if its blank. You don’t have to care about.
-
Where can I find the settings page?
-
Nowhere – the plugin does not need any config.
