    Hi,

    How can we add a custom BP error validation to the username?

    I need to make it alphanumeric and minimum of 5 chars.

    Please, advise.

    Hi Renato,

    Thank You for posting. You can create a custom error message by using the following code in your bp-custom.php file

    add_filter('bp_username_changer_validation_errors', 'buddydev_username_changer_custom_error_message', 3, 2 );
function buddydev_username_changer_custom_error_message( $error, $new_user_name ) {

    if ( ! is_numeric( $new_user_name  ) ) {
        
        $error = new WP_Error( 'invalid', __( 'Username name must be numeric', 'bp-username-changer' ) );
    }
    
    if ( strlen ( $new_user_name ) < 5 ) {
        
        $error = new WP_Error( 'invalid', __( 'New user name can not be less than five character', 'bp-username-changer' ) );
    }
 
    return $error;
}

    Thank You
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi, thank you for the prompt response.

    But !is_numeric will allow ALPHANUMERICS only?

    We want to avoid symbols etc.

    Thank you,

    Hi Renato

    Please try this

    add_filter('bp_username_changer_validation_errors', 'buddydev_username_changer_custom_error_message', 3, 2 );
function buddydev_username_changer_custom_error_message( $error, $new_user_name ) {

    if ( ! ctype_alnum ( $new_user_name  ) ) {
        
        $error = new WP_Error( 'invalid', __( 'Username name must be alphanumeric', 'bp-username-changer' ) );
    }
    
    if ( strlen ( $new_user_name ) < 5 ) {
        
        $error = new WP_Error( 'invalid', __( 'New user name can not be less than five character', 'bp-username-changer' ) );
    }
 
    return $error;
}

    Thank You

    Hi Ravi, the alphanumeric check worked, but the translation for the ERRORS did not.

    We just downloaded the 1.2.2 and add the custom original and translated error string in the PO file.

    Could you please advise?

    Hi Renato,

    Please put the translated text directly in the above code that I have posted. It won’t be loader from the pot file.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank You
    Ravi
