Incorrect error messages on register

    I’m testing a variety of cases and have found that I’m not getting the correct error messages for the conditions.

    Whether I try leaving the username empty, or using an existing username, or too short a username, I only ever get “Invalid username”

    Same issue with email address — already registered, illegal characters/formatting, or blank, I just get “Invalid email address”

    I think the fix needs to be in user-frontend/inc/action-register.php but I can’t seem to figure out how to change it.

    Hello there,

    sorry for the huge and unforgivable delay and lack of support. I’ll do my best to change this in 2015.

    Hm. I am forking the WordPress registration here so I have to work with that, what WordPress gives back:

    // validate wpmu
$result = uf_validate_user_form();
extract( $result );
if ( $errors->get_error_code() ) {

    The method $errors->get_error_code() returns ‘user_name’ as error code. Maybe I need to fork more of the core for this plugin to have better error messages. But I think that this will lead to a bloaty plugin. I’m afraid I don’t want this.

    But if I stumble upon a solution, I’ll fix this.

    Best regards,
    Thomas
