Examples

Custom Prefix

Change the username format to newuser_XXXX:

function sms_registration_username_format($username, $mobileNumber) {
    $new_username = 'newuser_' . str_replace('+', '', $mobileNumber);

    return $new_username;
}
add_filter('wp_sms_registration_username', 'sms_registration_username_format', 10, 2);

Hashed Username for Privacy

Generate a privacy-friendly username using a hashed mobile number:

function sms_registration_username_format($username, $mobileNumber) {
    $hashed_mobile = substr(wp_hash($mobileNumber), 0, 8);
    $new_username = 'user_' . $hashed_mobile;

    return $new_username;
}
add_filter('wp_sms_registration_username', 'sms_registration_username_format', 10, 2);

Random Username

Generate a random username with a prefix:

function sms_registration_username_format($username, $mobileNumber) {
    $random_suffix = wp_generate_password(6, false);
    $new_username = 'member_' . $random_suffix;

    return $new_username;
}
add_filter('wp_sms_registration_username', 'sms_registration_username_format', 10, 2);
