The Pencil Guy: Hourann's illogical blog

Fixing dashes in WordPress usernames

Friday 21 April 2006 at 11:12 pm

My login for this blog is azza-bazoo (which will look familiar to anyone who’s ever IMed me). This was fine in the old version of WordPress that I used to have, but WordPress 2 (quite annoyingly) refuses to allow me to edit a user with a hyphen in its name in the admin panel.

The fix: Rudd-O’s super-handy WordPress allow dashes plugin.

Other than that, and some annoyances caused by the whizz-bang Midas post editor, this version of WP is awesome.
