Members login with the email account

Please how can my members  login with the email and not with the NickName. Moreover how can the  email   be the primary  connection with the  id of the profile because there are persons with the same name

I would llike to know answer for that also!

I don't have the answer but one thing to consider even if someone nails it is that you still want the usernames unique. Otherwise you will end up with 37 Jims and 236 Kathys and you know how that would be  .....

WORKAROUND:

The way the username works as-is will not allow symbols "@" and ".".

So you could use the email address as follows which would still be unique and easy to remember.

sandra@hersite.com    (not allowed)

sandrahersitecom         (allowed)
sandra-hersitecom        (allowed)
sandra-hersite-com       (allowed)

sandra-hersite_com      (allowed)
sandra_hersitecom       (allowed)
sandra_hersite-com      (allowed)

sandra_hersite_com     (allowed)

You also have to go to Admin > Builders > Fields Builder > NickName and under "Description" change it to explain the email thingy and under advanced change Minimum value to 8 and Maximum value to 254.

Not what you want but could use the theme as-is with no mods.

Hey thanks for atleast that. Hope in future they get around that.
