In this article we will find out how to make a middle name in VK, because the new management has released an update in which it is no longer possible to indicate a middle name.
There was such an opportunity last year, but now it’s time to make a middle name, or, as is now fashionable, the so-called “match”. Yes, you can put anything you want: emoticons, tags and even links.
Why was the middle name removed?
The patronymic, unlike the first and last name, is not moderated by the contact’s management. The fact is that the middle name is no longer involved in the search and there is no sense in it. You can use it for beauty by putting a smiley face or nickname in its place.
Why was it necessary to remove the patronymic at all and where did the line “patronymic VKontakte” go?
The fact is that the social network was initially positioned as an analogue of Facebook for the CIS countries, where everyone knows what a middle name is and many use it, but according to the laws of business, the business must expand, that is, the site’s audience must grow. In the CIS countries, everyone already knows about VKontakte and the market has been conquered. The rest is up to Europe, America and other countries.
Due to the fact that the social network is now focused not only on the CIS countries, but also on Western countries, it was decided to rename the domain to vk, and not vkontakte. Foreigners do not have such a word, so it was decided to use an abbreviation.
Thus, they killed two birds with one stone: they shortened the long domain for the CIS countries and made a more understandable and adapted site for foreigners.
And now answering main question“why and why was the middle name removed?” let’s remember, do foreigners have a middle name? The answer is no. For foreigners, it will be a big mystery why some users have three fields in their initials. That is why the middle name was removed and today we will figure it out, how to put a middle name on VKontakte.
There are several ways to add a middle name on VKontakte
Plugin
First: you can use one of the plugins for this social network. vkopt for example.
As far as I know, this plugin has the most complete functionality and can do almost everything. Only he doesn't know how. The plugin automatically adds the “middle name” line to the profile editing page.
This is not an advertisement, just choosing from other plugins for VK, this one inspires the most confidence, since everyone has been using it for many years and I have not heard a single story of exposing plugin developers who steal your passwords, as usually happens with most other plugins.
I also do not recommend using programs for contact, since 80% of all programs for this site will steal your data or leave a virus on your computer. If a program or plugin requires you to specify a password, token, or copy the cache, then feel free to delete this software, because Such tricks are used only to steal your passwords.
By editing the page code
Second way:
With this method make a middle name in VK it will be much faster, but for this you will need the Google Chrome browser and the absence of fear when you see the long code of a website page :)
Let's look at the instructions:
- Open your VK page for editing ( better browser Chromium)
- Place the cursor on the name and click right key mouse: a menu appears with the “view code” option at the bottom
- The page code debugger has opened, where the code of the “name” element is highlighted before your eyes
- Select the line(s) with the name code and copy with the right mouse button as html
- Now, using the debugger (below), insert a duplicate entry next line by selecting "edit html". Well, the Ctrl+V combination is actually for inserting a duplicate entry
- Very little left! In the double, we change your name to the desired middle name, and the words “first_name” - which means the first name in English, to the expression “middle_name” - the middle name, or the middle name itself
- We see changes on the main VK page. If everything suits you, click save!
By the way, you can use a nickname instead of your middle name. Who likes what? True, it is unknown how long this VKontakte bug will last.
