Error with space in username

Hello,

to remove any spaces from the user’s login, you can simply use this filter:

function oa_social_login_filter_user_fields ($user_fields)
{
  $user_fields['user_login'] = str_replace(' ', '', $user_fields['user_login']);
  return $user_fields;
}
 
//This filter is applied to new users
add_filter('oa_social_login_filter_new_user_fields', 'oa_social_login_filter_user_fields');

The code must be added to the end of the functions.php file of your WordPress theme. By doing so your changes will not be overwritten when you install a new version of Social Login. You can find this file in your WordPress admin area under Appearance \ Editor \ Theme Functions (functions.php)

Do not hesitate to ask if I can be of any help.
