Login with Username or Email

Part of the WP-Members 3.2 project involved allowing users to log in using either their username or their email address. This makes the WP-Members Email as Username extension obsolete (which, if you’re wondering, is why it is no longer supported).

However, because all of the translation files still reflect “Username” in the login form field text, I decided to give the translators time to catch up on the language packs.  So while you can log in using either a username or an email address, the label on the form only says “Username.”  

If you would like to change that, it just requires a simple filter you can add to your theme’s functions.php file:

/**
 * The plugin currently allows login using Username OR Email but
 * the field label still reflects just username (that will be
 * changing when translators catch up on translation). In the 
 * meantime, you can change it with a couple of filters added
 * to your theme's functions.php file.

add_filter( 'wpmem_inc_login_inputs', function( $defaults ) {
    $defaults[0]['name'] = "Username or Email";
    return $defaults;
});
add_filter( 'wpmem_sidebar_form', function( $html ) {
    if ( ! strpos( $html, 'Username or Email' ) ) {
        $html = str_replace( 'Username', 'Username or Email', $html );
    }
    return $html;
});
