When the username changes
-
Hi,
I know, users can’t change their username from UCP; They can’t change it. But today I changed a user’s username from User Method to avoid confusion as it was very similar to mine. Then I also changed it from WordPress _users table from phpmyadmin. Is there a problem?

p.s check the user nicename in WP, and in phpBB the username_clean: it should also match the correct value; in phpBB all lowercase and also in wp, plus something else that i do not remind now like spaces substituted by – and more characters that i do not remember).
Anyway, lowercase as nicename or username_clean value should work.
If the username_clean is not correct (lowercase username) i remember that in phpBB the user where not able to login (if the username was containing spaces or some other char) because the username_clean is used into phpBB user’s sql select and the check fail to retrieve the user’s db data. Do not know if after, phpBB changed this on later versions.
