I want to remove first name and last name from the registration form on my website, but for some reason i cant create a record if i hide those fields. Does that have to do with the fact that the backend form requires those two fields?

you can make those fields as hidden in your webstore and put “guest” as name and “user” as lastname - it’s a hack but it should work

how would i give it a default value

<input type=“hidden” name=“firstname” value=“guest” />

this is the current code. I tried adding that and it did not do anything. the fields are required so i cant really submit the form until i put some value in there. is there anything here that i need to get rid of?
