Why are letters mandatory in subdomain?!

Hi @dukessa – thanks for the kind words and feedback!

We use WP’s built-in wpmu_validate_blog_signup() function to validate subdomains, and that’s actually what makes letters mandatory – we didn’t decide to make it that way. We’ve discussed changing the validation to not use that function (have the same rules as when an admin creates a site rather than when a new user creates a site), so we’ll take your feedback into consideration on that point. Thanks!

I figured. The rest of the functions seems solid, it’s just that part

// all numeric?
    if ( preg_match( '/^[0-9]*$/', $blogname ) ) {
        $errors->add( 'blogname', __( 'Sorry, site names must have letters too!' ) );
    }

and honestly this part too is unnecesary (min lenght = 1 should be enough.. why 4?!)

$minimum_site_name_length = apply_filters( 'minimum_site_name_length', 4 );
    if ( strlen( $blogname ) < $minimum_site_name_length ) {
        /* translators: %s: minimum site name length */
        $errors->add( 'blogname', sprintf( _n( 'Site name must be at least %s character.', 'Site name must be at least %s characters.', $minimum_site_name_length ), number_format_i18n( $minimum_site_name_length ) ) );
    }

that you could remove, from a custom function.

I need to clone a few more sites soon, do you think this could be implemented relateively soon?
Thank you for taking it into consideration!
