MyUserName VS myusername

    Love this plugin.
    By accident, I just dicovered that if a new user tries to register for example a username with capital letter like: “MyUserName”
    then… the ajax form throws in this error message:
    “ERROR: This username is invalid because it uses illegal characters. Please enter a valid username.”
    No capital letters are accepted, it has to be entered as: “myusername” while in WooCommerce, all the capital letters are converted on the fly to small letters.

    Thanks for your insights,

    Glad your enjoying the plugin.

    WordPress usernames must be all lowercase, which is why the error message is being shown.

    I’m not sure that converting the username to lowercase is a good idea because the user may not realize that’s happened and therefore won’t know their username has been changed.

    Good point.
    If only, at least, the error message would tell the user to use lowercase only, instead of simply saying it uses illegal characters…
    Wouldn’t be a good idea? 😉

    Kind regards,
