New member gets full name from previous aborted registration attempt
-
This looks to me like a potentially disastrous bug.
I have a clean install of the latest non-beta WPMU and Buddypress releases. I tried to register a new test user:
username: whatever
email address: peter@oneofmyaccounts.com
full name: Test Userman
I received an error message, because I had already used the same email address for another test user. So I tried again with another email address:
username: pointlessusername
email address: peter@mumbairelated.com
full name: Raj Frommumbai
Registration went through this time but resulting in an account with this mix:
username: pointlessusername
email address: peter@mumbairelated.com
full name: Test Username
Apparently WordPress MU user data and WordPress X-Profile user data don’t synchronize, play nice. That is crucial if you want to rely on Buddypress for member registration and management!

OK, upgraded to 1.0.2.
Deleting the earlier test users to “free up” some email addresses I can use for testing. Why do deleted members remain in wp_signups? Is that necessary?
Deleting those users manually in phpmyadmin…
Then testing registering with an email address that I had used before:
testuser
Peter Testuserman
The expected error message:
Sorry that email address is already used
Reloading register page.
mumbaitest
Raj Mumbaiman
Congratulations, you are now registered!
Your new username is: mumbaitest
And this time the full name on the account is Raj Mumbaiman. So I guess 1.0.2 fixed the problem.
