[BUG] Redirect link not working for users with complex name

Malaiac, since when did the functions for Buddy Press touch the functions for Login with Ajax? The code you have supplied only shows one change i.e., $user->user_nicename

They don’t, it was just the user case.
I suspect the same bug may appear on other kinds of setup.
user_login is not properly sanitized to be used as the main url.

The plugins that fail with BuddyPress that I have USER_ID failures on don’t fail on login. Could be user role functions that cause the failure.

Ok, I might have phrased that differently.

user_login IS NOT SUPPOSED to be used to build an URL (and if you want to, you need to sanitize it)

user_nicename IS.

Please either add a safe format to use, or change USERNAME to use user_nicename and not user_login

I thought I was talking to the plugin author, and was quite baffled to see susanfla2’s answers.

Markus, if you see this thread, please disregard the chit chat, could we just have a sanitized field to use as URL ? Thanks in advance

Hey @malaiac, is the username John Smith on your example?

I do see how this can happen, so will address this. However, to not break things for those using this current way already I’d be inclined to add something like %USERNICENAME% or something like that?.

Yes, “John Smith” would be the full name in this example.

%USERNICENAME% could work , I will change the setting on the client’s website accordingly
