[Plugin: Theme My Login] Make user name field mirror email

    I’m using the “WP Email Login” plugin to allow users to log in with their email address *or* username. It works really well for logins, but now I’d like to simplify the registration process by asking only for an email address, and keeping the user name hidden.

    Two ways I see of going about this:
    1.) Have the user name field copy its value from the email field at time of submit

    or

    2.) Randomly generate a user name, and just keep that field hidden at all times… since users can already log in with their email addresses.

    Is there something simple I can change within register-form.php that would accomplish either of these options?

    Thank you kindly

    It would take a few callback functions: one to remove the errors for not having a username present upon form post, and another to actually automatically create a username. If you need assistance with this, I am available for hire.

    Also, TML 6+ has e-mail login functionality built-in by default.

    hello everybody,
    have you found out a solution for this issue?
