Description (last modified by )
Hello,
I want to give a username jonathanharris to a user on my site but when i enter this user name in add new user so wordpress says that "ERROR: This username is invalid because it uses illegal characters. Please enter a valid username."
but it don't have any illegal character, also i try it on another site and other site give same error.
Same for email address. email is jonathanharris@mydomainurl.co.uk and wordpress says that
ERROR: The email address isn’t correct.
I found something related on this ticket #19531 but it is very old ticket and also i enter username first time without any illegal character.
Both sites accept other usernames and email address.
Regards

Thank you very much @dhanendran for your reply.
Yes you are right that it is not the problem of wordpress. My both sites have same theme. I just try it on 3rd site after your reply and it accept this username.
This is the problem of theme i have installed on my sites.
@wordinvestor I couldn't able to reproduce this issue in my WordPress setup. Can you disable all the plugins and check this case? Also check for
validate_username
filter in your code base and plugins.
