Hope you have good time using the plugin. Enjoy.
It is a pity does not work with SimpleModal Login (wordpress) 🙁
Hi Martin,
Thank you for the comment. Here is a good news. You can enable the availability checker with simple model too.
Please put this code in your bp-custom.php

and it will work with simple modal login plugin too.
Hope that helps.

There's an issue with invalid usernames. If I put "admin" as the username, the error message is "Only lowercase letters and numbers allowed" instead of something like 'cant use that name'.
Hi Shawn,
I am sorry for the inconvenience. Which version of the plugin are you using? Is it 1.1.1?
When I type admin, I see this message "This usename is taken, please choose another one."
Can you please provide more details about your setup(WordPress, is it multisite, using BuddyPress and from which page do you see this message )
Thank you
Brajesh
Hello,
The plugin does not support checking Uppercase letters. How to solve this?
Hi ,
There is a filter to allow you do that.
