Wrong URL in Leaderboards widget

Hi,

Normally when you register through PeepSo or WordPress or any other properly created wordpress plugin you can use your email as username that’s fine you can login with:

login: [email protected]

then the link to your profile will be a wordpress nicename likeso: https://peep.so/profile/?somethingsomething-com/

The myCRED seems to be using USERNAMES not NICENAMES. The assumption is that usernames will always be url safe. They aren’t: For example: https://peep.so/profile/?something%40something.com/

$profile_url = get_bloginfo( ‘url’ ) . ‘/’ . $wp_rewrite->author_base . ‘/’ . urlencode( $user->user_login ) . ‘/’;

Should be using: user_nicename

Please advise.

Kindest regards,
