Hey
I’m using your plugin for my website
Tell me please, why I can’t use user email for authorization?
It works only with a user nickname. But the default WP login form could use both of them
Please help me to resolve it.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Oleh
@Oleh, It works with email addresses as well. You may have a plugin that is affecting this functionality.
