WP upload/login problems for user names with certain characters

[khanspers]

A user reported problems updating an existing pathway through the plugin using a username that includes a dot (.). Trying with a different user name without the dot worked as expected for the same set of pathways. The error message upon trying to login via the plugin is
"Please Enter Valid UserName"

The problematic user name was daniel.trinunes. Web service permissions have been explicitly granted for this user so that's not the problem.

Interesting catch. This is definitely not a bug in the plugin but either in the webservice client or the SOAP implementation. This will need some time to fix. So for now creating another username without a dot (.) would be the fastest solution.
