Hi,
I added buddypress to my blog and I have 50,000 plus members and I just discovered that Buddypress cannot handle usernames that have a space in them properly. You can’t click on the person’s name and the @ username thing doesn’t work.

I have seen posts that indicate that WPMU and I guess buddypress are not designed to handle usernames with spaces or capital letters.

My question is… is there a command I can run in mysql to change everyone’s username to their nicename? (I think that’s what it’s called)

Thanks!

did you try enabling username compatibility mode?
