User existent in phpBB, but not found on ACP - how to fix - WP usernames with blank spaces fix

It was a bug until 1.5.1 about user additions in phpBB when done due to an user register action or WP admin user addition, if username added/registered in WP, was containing spaces.

For these users, the result was they result as added in phpBB, but after on ACP, selecting this user was return User not found.
Now this has been resolved on 1.5.1.

If you have add users into phpBB that result not added after the transfer, just do the follow:
access phpBB ACP
click -> Manage users
than click on Find a member link, right below the unique central text field on page.
On opened page, you have the list of users. For each user you'll have an Username link and a Select link.

For the user that result impossible to edit/delete in different way, CLICK ON username link.
On next page, click on Administer user link. So you can delete the user.

Maybe there is some other way to do this on phpBB ACP.

Beware that you do not need to remove users in phpBB via db row deletions if you do not know exactly what you are doing, as more than one table need to be edited/modified in case, it is not just like to remove username from db users table.
