Hi, I don’t have any issues with the plugin, except that it hasn’t been updated for more than 2 years (since June 21, 2018).
I am certain that 800+ plugin users would appreciate if you could just check plugin compatibility with WooCommerce and WordPress and do some maintenance (if needed).
]]>Hello! I am using Restrict Username along with WordPress Username Availability Checker. Restrict Username itself works amazingly. However, WordPress Username Availability Checker uses validate_username() core WordPress function for validating username. It seems the Restrict Username is not using the filter provided by it and using something else to generate the error.
Is there any reason for not using that filter? Is it because that does not allow returning a custom error?
What function should WordPress Username Availability Checker use to validate the username? They said they will add it to their compatibility.
Thank you so much!
]]>Hi!
Thanks for good plugin!
Can you optimize your plugin settings page for mobile devices?
You need check “Test Usernames” input form width (c2c_test_usernames).
URL:
/wp-admin/users.php?page=restrict-usernames%2Frestrict-usernames.php
P.S. Plugin last updated 2 years ago. When will you update your plugin?
Restrict Usernames 3.6
]]>Saw a thread from 4 years ago saying the partial matching doesn’t work and it had been fixed. I use buddypress and i tested it with partial usernames and it goes through,meaning it doesn’t work. How can I fix it? Can you help me?
]]>Hi
After testing, It does not work in MU sites with the plugin of Login with Ajax(https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/login-with-ajax/).

]]>hi,
this plugin is exellent for prevent usernames that contain foul, offensive, or otherwise undesired words.
Ok it is perfect.
You can also say that in compatible with buddypress.
Ok it is good.
But in addition to the username field, I think is very important also prevent NAME that contain foul, offensive, or otherwise undesired words, and if I add an USERNAME field I think is very importat also prevent USERNAME that contain foul, offensive, or otherwise undesired words.
So my QUESTION is: how can I do that? Do you plugin let me that?
Please, let me know.
I hope your answer.
Hey
I got wordpress 4.3.3
Latest Ultimate Member free plugin
I can register with any username it seems like restrictions of usernames doesnt work at all.
Does anybody tried with this plugin ultimate member ?
Thanks
]]>Hi Scott, thanks for this great plugin. Was wondering if you had considered integrating a username changing function that uses your logic. There is a 2-year-old plugin whose code could probably be repurposed to use your validation. Just a thought as it would be very useful for me and many others. Thanks again.
]]>I’ve had one user register with many more characters than I allow in the plugin (I set it to 18, they registered with over 24) and with one of my prohibited strings (admin) in the same 24+ character username.
This happened on a subsite where WP-Members plugin is active and it’s creating a special registration page that does not use wp-login.php. I know this causes some trouble with WangGuard, so it made me wonder if that could be the cause of this and other reported instances of this issue?
]]>Hi !
I see you have folder as bin and tests. I think you are need to remove that folders from the production plugin. It’s need to be in the Dev version only.
Hello, I am using the last version of wordpress and paid membership pro. I set the restricted usernames and checked them with the check tool, and it said “Invalid Username” However, Users are still able to register with usernames that are suppossed to be restricted. I need help please? Thanks.
]]>It doesn’t seem to be preventing usernames from being created even though they are against my criteria. Hope to hear soon. Thanks!
]]>Hi
We’ve updated
restrict-usernames.php
to support Buddypress correctly when registering it’s filters using function
public function register_filters()
as code below. If you are happy with the changes can you add it to the release to avoid us patching our version with each release?
Many thanks

}Hi there!
I activated this plugin. And unfortunately it messed up my registration and login on https://www.spiderpigwashere.com.
I could not register as a new user anymore.
So I deactivated and deleted this plugin in the hope that it would solve the problem.
The register part now works again but after registering I want to login.
The following happens: A redirect to the homepage, but it doesn’t show that that user is logged in (but he is). When the new user goes to another page in de website it does show that he is logged in.
Have you ever encounterd this problem with other users of this plugin? And can you help me with this problem?
Kind regards,
Bas Serné

]]>I installed the plugin to keep users from using spaces in their usernames but it didn’t work.
]]>I can see that the plugin author has not responded here in a very long time. That’s unfortunate, as this is a handy plugin – if it worked.
Right now, neither the name restriction, nor the disallow spaces feature are working when I use this plugin.
Any suggestions for a replacement for this plugin??

]]>Hi
Im using this plugin for a long time in many projects and wonder if you still keep one eye on the plugin?
Many core functions are standing still in WP updates, and login/ username handling seems to be one of them, so 2 years doesnt need to be old.
Your blog is not updated since 2012 … but for working girls thats not a long time ago, spending time on wp users for free.
This plugin works fine with 3.4.2 and buddypress 1.6 But Im soon updating a lot of projects to 3.6 and BP 1.7x
So far, it seems to be working ok in single install 3.5.1 including whitespace. BP 1.7 not tested yet.
THANKS for all your coffee!

]]>First, great plugins.
1) If a user tries to register a restricted username, it’ll tell them it’s invalid. But I’d like to provide a custom error message, saying that the username is unavailable. By just saying it’s invalid, it can make the user feel they’ve entered a username with improper formatting, and not because the username is restricted. They could end up abandoning the registration process.
2) It would be great if there was a log kept of failed registration attempts due to invalid usernames chosen. This will help craft a better fail messsage, as I’d mentioned above. Currently, I don’t know how many people may be getting tripped up trying to register invalid usernames and/or if I may be restricting too many usernames. Having a log will help determine that. Also good for potential debugging.
Thanks.

]]>Im having issues using the latest version of this plugin with my WP site, it doesn’t seem to be working at all and I was not sure if I was the only one experiencing these issues.
The installation and activation seems to work fine but the plugin has no effect, is there any current known issue with 3.4.2 and if so any idea as to a resolution?
Thanks!
