While “.” should be valid urls as long as the ending / exist I understand the problematic and will change it to – instead.
@jojungwhan you say the username is just a dot ? That sound kinda impossible to me as if the user don’t have first name and last name we use email instead. Could you tell how to reproduce the error?

I mean we use sanitize_user to filter the username, so there is no way to be an invalid username right?
I think what Brian Cruikshank has raised is the same. It happens with Buddypress installed, and when user clicks on the Facebook connect button without having registered. I believe this means that username is not provided but automatically assigned either by wordpress, buddypress, or the plugin?
“.” may be a valid url however clicking on the member and redirecting to member/./ etc. still does not work.

That’s strange because the plugin when generates the username follow this:
if firstname and last name exist it’s used like first.last
Else it use the first part of the email (which is mandatory) so Im not sure hwo you ended with a username of just a dot “.”
If you use the same facebook account it happens again? If you check the user in your wp-admin is listed as . ?

I changed the function and removed . . I still not sure why they didn’t worked as they are valid wp usernames but I decided to change them
