Username cannot contain a dot (.) #63

Closed klacol closed 7 years ago

klacol commented 7 years ago

Nice project here, thank you!

I have found, that a username can not contain a dot (.)

Could be an issue of the c# wrapper or of the API.

abrudtkuhl commented 7 years ago

Dots in usernames are not allowed in WordPress so the problem lies there. You can override that if you need.

klacol commented 7 years ago

ah, ok. In fact I can put in a dot into the username in the WP UI. This would be a bug there then. Thanks.

I dont know that it's a bug in as much as it's a feature. There are a few trac comments about it and I think it's there by design for security but can be overridden via hook in a plugin if needed.
