buddypress login widget not working with username

    hello,

    i’m using wordpress version 4.8, buddypress version 2.8.2 on this website: pokerenthusiastnetwork.com

    i’m experiencing a problem with the buddypress login widget. it shows two fields to fill in info; one labeled ‘username’ and one labeled ‘password.’ if i type them in, i get a failed log in. however, if instead of typing my username i type my email in the username field, i can log in without problem

    needless to say, this would be very confusing for a user. is there a way to either amend the username field to say ’email address’ or to make it work with either email or username?

    could somebody please respond? i have spent countless hours trying to fix this with no luck.

    as an update, i’ve discovered something quite strange: this issue doesn’t affect admin accounts, only user accounts. in other words, as an admin, i can log in with my username, but as a user, i can only use my email address!

    Did you maybe change your username after registration?

    no, i didn’t change my username.

    one thing i just thought of that i’m not sure would effect it: i’m using this code:

    .field-visibility-settings-toggle {
    display:none;
    }

    in my style sheet to hide the real name field during user registration. do you think that could effect it in anyway?
