   I have a user named Professor Stigious and a user named POS

   POS is able to log in with no problems, and navigates cleanly between my blog and my bb with no trouble whatsoever.

   However, when Professor Stigious goes to the bb he's not logged in and when he tries to the space in his name screws him up! he needs your help! please!

   Maybe he doesn't have the cockies enabled ?

   It's the space.

   Try this plugin:

   <?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: Allow spaces in user names
   Plugin URI: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/99
   */

   function wpbb_user_sanitize( $text, $raw, $strict ) {
   $username = strip_tags($raw);
   // 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);

   return $username;
   }

   add_filter( 'user_sanitize', 'wpbb_user_sanitize', -1, 3);

   ?>

   I copied this code into a file called userspace.php and then copied that file into the my-plugins folder. Is there anything else I need to do?

   Professor Stigious is also the keymaster. Is this super problematic?

   btw thank you for your fast response!

   That snhould be all you need to do (it shouldn't matter who's what). But I haven't actually tested it.

   Please let me know how it goes.

   Did not work, I put a print statement in the userspace.php, printing "This code is being executed." and it showed up, but does not solve the whitespace problem.

   Is there a simple modification to the plugin that can be made to fix this problem?

    Has nobody else had this problem with spaces in the username?

    Strange - it worked for me.

    Make sure that userspace.php has no whitespace before the <?php or after the ?>

    This is very hacking debugging but I put another print statement in, this time inside the custom function which prints "the code is being executed"
    when the wpbb_user_sanitize function and that does not display on the page at any point during any sort of login, successful or unsuccessful.

    Is there anything else you can suggest?

    Ah!

    My sincere apologies. I've sent you on a wild goose chase. That plugin will only work with the upcoming next release of bbPress.

    Don't dispair, though. That new release is coming soon.

    Sorry!
