That’s a solution? Really? I’m just scoping this out and amazed that GFs hasn’t figured this out.

Still happening. It’s adding a second iteration of sending activation email before it finally works at login. Different message too when you do it a second time.

I think it’s better to give registrants and newbies a break by warning them to not use spaces BEFORE they try first to register instead of frustrating them ‘neener neener’ after they do it wrong (don’t ya think?)

at wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php

at line 46 then and 66 I added the following 2 edits in bold

/** This action is documented in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php */
do_action( ‘template_notices’ ); ?>

<p><?php _e( ‘Registering for this site is easy. Just fill in the fields below, and we\’ll get a new account set up for you in no time. NO-SPACES-ALLOWED-IN-USER-NAMES. If you have an EXISTING ACCOUNT try logging in with Username (one-word) instead of User Name‘, ‘buddypress’ ); ?></p>

<?php

/**

do_action( ‘bp_before_account_details_fields’ ); ?>

<div class=”register-section” id=”basic-details-section”>

<?php /***** Basic Account Details ******/ ?>

<h4><?php _e( ‘Account Details’, ‘buddypress’ ); ?></h4>

Edit as you wish

I added that snip to the bottom of the PLUGIN bbpress.php, NOT the THEME functions.php

I am going to scrounge to see how I can add that warning to the top of the page in the welcome.
