Creating manually a user with PMO ID is not possible #165

Hi, I switched to the new plugin and users are now not anymore automatically created. I tried now to create a user manually, but a user name must include at least one letter when I want to create the user via the Wordpress admin page. How can I now with the new plugin create a user to assign e.g. role admin when he/she log in via BCC Login?

Note: I figured out that the Wordpress validation rule in wp-includes/ms-functions.php creates this issue:

// All numeric?
if ( preg_match( '/^[0-9]*$/', $user_name ) ) {
    $errors->add( 'user_name', __( 'Sorry, usernames must have letters too!' ) );
}

One option is to manually disable this logic but I guess it is there for a reason. The Wordpress plugin should work here differently to link the PMO ID to the user by another field than the username.

The user can be linked to the BCC member also by the email address, totally independent of what username you are setting to the account.

@cs1m0n This is great to hear! But I think this would not work anymore when someone changes the email address, right? Then one would be locked out of Wordpress right?
