Hi!

I’m adding BP to a WP install with hundreds of users (and these users have have their email as username)

As a result member URL are “disclosing” users email and I’ve to change that.
(e.g. domain.com/members/giacomogmail-com <— (for: giacomo@gmail.com)

An acceptable solution for us would be to have a “prefix + USER ID” in the slug
(e.g.domain.com/members/u571 )

So even if changing username is not encouraged by WP core I tried to replace in the DB the username of user “571”
I checked and username is correctly replaced from “giacomo@gmail.com” to “u571″

But now if I visit the old url I still see the same profile (domain.com/members/giacomogmail-com)

And if I visit the “new” url I get a 404
(e.g. domain.com/members/u571 )

Should I recreate the user URLs somewhere?
I tried to update permalinks but that didn’t help.

Thanks in advance!
Giacomo
