I am using the child theme functions.php file to style the page and display some custom text and a logo.

All I want to do is change the word Username to Email

My membership software ‘Memberium’ uses the email address as the username but its confusing the members becasue it say Username!!! (yes I have put some explaination text there !!

Help!

Thanks

Hello John,

Thanks for logging in!

To change the text “Username” to “Email” in your WP login page, since you already have your child theme active and ready, please insert this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

// Change WP login text "Username" to "Email"
// =============================================================================
function login_function() {
    add_filter( 'gettext', 'username_change', 20, 3 );
    function username_change( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
        if ($text === 'Username'){
            $translated_text = 'Email Address';
        }
        return $translated_text;
    }
}
add_action( 'login_head', 'login_function' );
// =============================================================================

We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.

That’s why I love theme.co

YES, that worked a treat. I wish I understood how and why! 🙂 But it works so that’s good enough for me.

Thank you very much
