    The URL shows it all:

    https://legends.house/wp-admin/admin.php?page=edit-friend&user=D:side%3E:idle:

    This is some real account at mastodon with such complicated name set for account. Obviously, their _handle_ is Mastodon compliant, the complicated screen name of such real account has been set at as Friends username.

    it seems plugin need some update that would:

    1. use url-encoding on user name in URL
    2. replace separators and any other characters that are not letters and numbers with _ character
    3. allow somehow to edit such accounts which have that invalid names
    4. and apply 2 when that virtual user to be created (Add Friend confirmation) and edited

    Sadly, I can’t implement this as don’t have PHP skills.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
