Home of WP-Members, The Original WordPress Membership Plugin
Chad Butler · ·
Here is a simple method for allowing users to log in with either their username or their email address.
This process allows the user to log in using either their username or their email address. It’s not difficult to implement and leaves you with a clean process where you don’t have to worry about what to do when users change their email address.
WP-Members provides a number of filters that let you get more control over how the plugin works with your site. This feature makes this one of the most extensible members/post restriction plugins available.
This page is a complete list of filter hooks available in the plugin (find action hooks on this page). For specific details about a particular hook, including parameters passed to it, click through for more specific data and links to examples. Hooks available in new versions indicate the WP-Members version number they were introduced in (which may require you to upgrade if you intend to use the hook).
Note: All WP-Members hooks begin with wpmem_ in order to differentiate them from WP hooks and any other hooks that may be in your theme or other plugins.
