Username in Hebrew

  • Hello,

    i’m trying to get the username to work with Hebrew characters (i’m working with Buddypress).
    I found a code someone posted 2 years ago, which i need to replace in wp-includes->formatting.php, but it’s not working anymore, i guess because of all the version updates.

    Would appreciate it if someone could check it out and suggest a code which would work with the latest version of WP.

    This is the not working one:
    $username = preg_replace( ‘|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])|’, “, $username );
    {/code}

    And it’s supposed to replace this code:

    $username = preg_replace( ‘|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9][u0591-u05F4])|’, “, $username );

    Thank you!
    Maya.

  • this working very good
    maybe this not working because of must replace and few lines below after if ( $strict ) (line 1009)
    the problem is do not replace cod in file but with filter

    To allow use with username Hebrew add this filter in functions.php file

    add_filter( 'sanitize_user', 'sanitize_user_with_hebrew', 10, 3 );

function sanitize_user_with_hebrew( $username, $raw_username, $strict ) {

	$username = $raw_username;
	$username = wp_strip_all_tags( $username );
	$username = remove_accents( $username );
	// Kill octets
	$username = preg_replace( '|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])|', '', $username );
	$username = preg_replace( '/&.+?;/', '', $username ); // Kill entities

	// If strict, reduce to ASCII for max portability.
	if ( $strict ) {
		$username = preg_replace( '|[^a-z0-9?-? _.\-@]|i', '', $username );
	}

	$username = trim( $username );
	// Consolidate contiguous whitespace
	$username = preg_replace( '|\s+|', ' ', $username );

	/**
	 * Filter a sanitized username string.
	 *
	 * @since 2.0.1
	 *
	 * @param string $username     Sanitized username.
	 * @param string $raw_username The username prior to sanitization.
	 * @param bool   $strict       Whether to limit the sanitization to specific characters. Default false.
	 */

	return $username;
}
