I have edited line 129 of my wp-signup.php to be:

echo '<input name="user_name" type="text" id="user_name" value="'. esc_attr($user_name) .'" maxlength="60" onBlur="javascript:this.value=this.value.toLowerCase();" /><br />';

Hopefully that should cover it.

Hi Eduan,

I have now done some more research on this, and from what I have read, WordPress MU does NOT allow uppercase characters in usernames. This is because they are also used for the sub-domains, which WordPress (incorrectly) assumes have to be all lower case.

So, given that this is actually core WordPress functionality, how can I customise the s2member registration screen so that the restriction on username is described to the user? Also, how could I add a client-side onblur event to force the username to lower case when they exit the field?

Thanks,

Craig
