I have a question on how this issue is solved: phpBB allows many special characters in usernames that are not allowed in wordpress.<\/p>\n<p>I have installed the bridge successfully but when a user logs in with an account that has specialchars in it&#8217;s username the username created in wordpress will be without the specialchars. Is there a connection made between the accounts in WP and phpBB? I dont see that, so i&#8217;m interested if the system will crash at some point?<\/p>\n<p>I know it&#8217;s possible to disable sanitize_user() in WP but i&#8217;m not sure if this is a secure method.<\/p>\n<p>I will be waiting your reply!<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/wp-phpbb-bridge\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3177595","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/3177595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/3177595\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3177595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
