Email as Username not accepted in login screen
-
In the Register Plus Redux settings I have ticked the option to allow new users to register with their email address instead of a user name.
I then manually create the new user in WordPress and authenticate the new user using the Confirm User Registration plugin.
Logged out users see the Email and Password fields on the wp-login screen, however they cannot log in using their email address. I’ve had to untick that option in the Register Plus Redux settings and force them to register and log in with a user name.
I don’t have any other plugins related to user registration, and unfortunately I cannot provide a link to my development site to illustrate the problem. I am using the GeneratePress theme.
To summarise, I have new users registered using the email address instead of username option who cannot login when they enter their email address.
Can anyone suggest why this (very useful) feature might not be working?
