BuddyPress

I actually thought this was a missing page problem but it seems to be an error based on the space in my username. When I go to “edit profile” it says “page missing”. When I put the %20 where it should be, it pulls up fine.

Has anyone found a fix / workaround for this?

http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/restrict-usernames/ has support for BuddyPress
I have not checked it yet with WP 3.3 though.

I was hoping to not do this. This would break my Social Connect and in my opinion makes usernames unfriendly

There’s also this: define( ‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true );

That doesn’t seem to be working…

If it helps at all, when you go to click on the link the url correctly inputs the %20 where it needs to be, but the browser loads without it. (all browsers)

Example (sorry for bump, I just wanted to be clearer)

When you highlight the link for “Profile > Edit” it shows like this:
http: sitename.com/members/User%20Name/profile/edit/

but when you click the link browsers load:
http: sitename.com/members/UserName/profile/edit/
