    Hello,

    Can you please help me update the username input field placeholder text to say

    “Username or Email address”

    I read that you said you can use the uwp_form_input_text_username filter but im not sure how to change it using the above? Can you please provide some more information.

    Many thanks,
    Graeme

  • Hi,

    Try using following code in functions.php file of the currently active theme or via Code Snippets plugin and let me know if it helps:

    add_filter('uwp_get_field_placeholder', 'uwp_get_field_placeholder_cb', 10, 2);
function uwp_get_field_placeholder_cb($placeholder, $field){
    if(isset($field) && isset( $field->form_type ) && $field->form_type == 'login' && $field->htmlvar_name == 'username' ){
        $placeholder = __( "Username or Email", 'userswp' );
        if ( isset( $field->is_required ) && ! empty( $field->is_required ) ) {
		    $placeholder .= ' *';
	    }
    }

    return $placeholder;
}

    Regards,
    Patrik
