First thanks for your awesome plugin.

Please at the sign up page, I want visitors to be able to use phone instead of email during sign up

In the email field of the sign up form, is it possible to display email or phone number, so that visitors can use either email or phone number, thank you. Am using the latest WordPress.

Hi @froshdimeji,

the registration process is part of WordPress. Check on the codex or on the wp forum, but i doubt that a phone number can be used instead of an email. Perhaps it can be added to the mandatory username, password and email fields. But sorry, i have never heard about such.

Note that BP allows you to add fields to the register page, but these fields will never be part of the registration itself. So even if you add an xprofile phone type field, it won’t be considered (as first) as mandatory for registration.

If you create an xProfile field called “Telephone” and add it to the base group, it’ll appear in the BuddyPress registration form.

Hope that helps?

I found a plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/miniorange-otp-verification/ that looks like it could do the function. Please check it out
