I’d like the username (login) to be the email address

Hello @alexisgrolot

The plugin automatically makes user login from email if there is no user login, username, first name and last name in the registration form. Otherwise you need a code snippet.

Try to remove the “Username” (user_login) field from the registration form and add this code snippet to the functions.php file in the active theme directory.

// make a login from email.
add_filter( 'um_add_user_frontend_submitted', function( $args, $form_data ) {
	if ( empty( $args['user_login'] ) && ! empty( $args['user_email'] ) ) {
		$args['user_login'] = sanitize_user( strtolower( $args['user_email'] ), true );
	}
	return $args;
}, 10, 2 );

Hello @yuriinalivaiko ,
Thank you very much for your very detailed reply and for taking the time to read and reply to my message.

In my registration form, there is a first name field, a last name field and an email field. I did remove the username field. And I’ve added your code snippet via the Code Snippets plugin.

But when I validate the registration via the registration form, it displays a blank page with a message:

“There has been a critical error on this site.

Can you help me out again and thanks again,

Sorry for the late answer.

A forum can replace special symbols in the code, so you should not copy and paste it directly. Use a PHP code editor that can verify a code for the syntax errors when you edit PHP files.

Did you add a code to a proper place? It’s better to add custom PHP code to the end of the functions.php file in the theme directory. Using a child theme is recommended. A code added or edited via a snippets plugin may work wrong.

I tried again by adding the custom PHP code at the end of the functions.php file in the theme directory. But I didn’t use a child theme because it’s not final yet. I use the Divi theme, as well as the Divi Builder.

Can you help me out again and thanks again,
