Is there a way or additional plugin to have the username be the email address. The registration form allows the user to enter their username, however I would like the system to not allow them to enter their username but use the email address as the username.
Hi, are you currently using the Form Builder Add-on? I just created a test account using the e-mail address as the username and the same e-mail address as the e-mail address with out an error messages displayed. Have you tested this yourself?
Regards
I don’t want the user when registering to enter a username. I want them to only enter email address on the sign up form [swpm_registration_form]
the username be assigned to the email address they entered. Trying to see what tweaks there is or customization possibilities.
Hi, thank you for the extra information. The plugin developers will investigate further your request.
Regards
You can instruct your users to use their “Email Address” in the username field. And then in the future they will be able to use that to log into the site.
Our plugin has TWO columns in the database for username and email (they can be the same) but they BOTH require a value. You can’t get rid of one of the fields totally (which is what you want to do I think).
We need it because the Core WordPress system uses the username and email address fields for WP users. We integrate with WP so we maintain the same architecture which makes the integration very easy.
Bottom line, both of those fields require a value when using our plugin.
Thanks for your response. Yes I understand the core wordpress db utilizes this on users table. I wanted to customize the form to ensure all users abide by the rule that the username will be populated with the email address with either a compare validator or hide the username field but it will be populated with the email address on the back-end.
Even with placing instruction on the page I am trying to avoid human error / non-conformity.
I would like to do the same with the forms plugin. Please assist.
I want to keep the email but hide the username field or make the email and username one field. if they type the email then it will create the username automatically “in the back”.Thanks
