Magento 2 - Remove last name from registration form

Question

How to remove the last name field in registration form?

Answer 1

You have to copy file from

projectroot\vendor\magento\module-customer\view\frontend\templates\widget\name.phtml

And paste to in you theme.

You can find class field-name-lastname in code. delete complete this div for last name.

You have to run below query in your database for set lastname as optional for customer.

UPDATE eav_attribute SET is_required = 0 WHERE attribute_code = 'lastname' and `entity_type_id` = 1

Run Command : php bin/magento cache:clean

Let me know if you have any issue.

Answer 2

You need to run SQL query in your database to set last name as optional or remove:

UPDATE eav_attribute SET is_required = 0 WHERE attribute_code = 'lastname' and entity_type_id = 1

Go to below file where you can find class field-name-lastname in code. delete complete this div for last name.

vendor\magento\module-customer\view\frontend\templates\widget\name.phtml

Note : We recommended to override the core files

Answer 3

try this :

UPDATE eav_attribute SET is_required = 0 WHERE attribute_code = 'lastname' and entity_type_id = 2

Answer 4

If you are in the context of class Setup/InstallData and method install() while implementing \Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface you can do something like this:

/**
 * @param \Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup
 * @param \Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface $context
 */
public function install(
    \Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup,
    \Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface $context)
{
    $setup->startSetup();
    $customerSetup = $this->_customerSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
    /** @var \Magento\Customer\Setup\CustomerSetup $customerSetup */

    // Make lastname optional
    $customerSetup->updateAttribute(
      \Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY,
      'lastname',
      'is_required',
      false
    );
}

Then you can hide the lastname field with CSS like this:

fieldset.fieldset.create.info .field-name-lastname
{
    display: none;
}
