Hello!,

(Sorry for my bad english).

I have a website with Buddypress and, I noticed that during the registration the users can’t write characters uppercase in usernames, and i want delete this restrictions just for the register page, so that after changing user name in lowercase automatically. ¿Is possible this?

Thanks!

I believe it has something to deal with this piece of code, (file bp-membesr/bp-members-signup.php)
`
function bp_core_validate_user_signup( $user_name, $user_email ) {
global $wpdb;

$errors = new WP_Error();
$user_email = sanitize_email( $user_email );

if ( empty( $user_name ) )
$errors->add( ‘user_name’, __( ‘Please enter a username’, ‘buddypress’ ) );

$maybe = array();
preg_match( “/[a-z0-9]+/”, $user_name, $maybe );
`
On line 311 you will see
`preg_match( “/[a-z0-9]+/”, $user_name, $maybe );`
Just add
` preg_match( “/[a-z0-9A-Z]+/”, $user_name, $maybe );`
that should allow caps for user names.

Should I replace the code or add after?
