Is it ok to have a hypen in a username eg user-name?

I’m wondering if WordPress disallows this because of some security flaw. I have Searched but most results are from 2013-2015 and none of the new threads seem conclusive.

Thanks,
Anthony.

I am using this plugin from a few months and from the last three months, I am facing a double hyphen problem in content with this plugin.

I also found a similar topic on Google here it is: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/17633/single-dash-converted-to-double-dash

The double dash in the content is Automatically creating through the Wp Lyte plugin filter.

I found the function in the .php file of this plugin which is creating this problem.

Here is the function: the_content

Check this link for an example: https://bit.ly/2VWdnW8 of the double dash.

When I am typing single – at the backend through the editor, then a single dash is automatically converting into the double dash at the front end.

When I disabled the Wp Lyte plugin then the dash problem gets automatically fixed.

Please do check the code problem in the plugin and fix the issue as soon as possible.

Due to this error, the Table of the content plugin also not able to show the content in the articles.

Please have a look at it and reply to this thread for any query.

.post_content {
word-wrap: normal;
-webkit-hyphens: none;
-o-hyphens: none;
-moz-hyphens: none;
hyphens: none;
-ms-hyphens: none:
}

Trying to do a simple 301 redirect in the .htaccess file.

However some of my post URLs actually contain the %e2%80%93 character which would be seen as a long dash (‘-‘) which you can replicate by typing two words with a dash between them in a word editor.

Anyways seems like our new CMS doesn’t like the %e2%80%93 character and neither does the htaccess file.

Anyone got any ideas on how to 301 redirect the page with the %e2%80%93 character in the URL?

When i change the permalink from the default to a pretty one, i sometimes get a hypen and then a number. Most of my links look great, but one named url/gallery comes up url/gallery-2.

Why is this happening? How do i get rid of the hyphen extension
