    It seems that you have a space in your username and that is not supported by WebFinger. I am working on a feature to rename the username but this is not productive yet.

    Is it possible, that it doesn’t work with a dash in the username, also? (vorname-nachname).

    Gru?

    Just checking to see (especially with Automattic supporting the plugin now) if there’s any movement on being able to modify the username associated w/ this plugin for users who have a space or dash in their username?

    Thanks!

    You can simply change the WordPress login to make it work. At least as a quick fix.

    When I got to the user settings it says that the username cannot be changed
