К сожалению плагин требует доработки, в отзывах, например, Кристина, предлагает 
изменить макс. размер поля в таблице с 50 символов до 200. Я пошёл другим путём –
добавил фильтр на wp_pre_insert_user_data, непосредственно перед внесением пользователя
в БД необходимо проверить длину поля $data[‘user_nicename’] если оно больше 50, 
то либо обрезать его до 50 символов, либо заменить на логин\транслитерацию логина\
что угодно =)
