This plugin enables usernames containing special characters (russian, cyrillic, arabic ...) on your WordPress blog.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Per default WordPress does not allow to use special characters in usernames. Non-latin characters are silently filtered out and your users cannot create accounts containing cyrillic (russian) or arabic letters. This plugin is the solution to this problem.<\/p>\n\n

The plugin works for users that are added by the administrator, for users that register with their username\/password and for users that register using our Social Login<\/a> plugin for WordPress.<\/p>\n\n

Please Note<\/strong>
\nSpecial characters are encoded in the database and take a bit more space than regular characters.<\/p>\n\n

If users having special characters in their usernames still cannot register after having installed the plugin then you probably have to increase the length of the column user_nicename<\/code> in the table wp_users<\/code> in your database.<\/p>\n\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\nALTER TABLE `wp_users` CHANGE `user_nicename` `user_nicename` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '';\n<\/pre>\n\n
Available Charsets<\/strong>\nYou can enable\/disable each charset individually in the Settings \\ WSCU Settings<\/strong> page in your WordPress admin area.<\/p>\n\n
