Login with username or email address

Adding this snippet to the functions.php of your wordpress theme will let users login using an email address or a username. The second snippet will change the text on the login page from “username” to “username / email” but feel free to change the login text to anything you would like.

function login_with_email_address($username) {
        $user = get_user_by('email',$username);
        if(!empty($user->user_login))
                $username = $user->user_login;
        return $username;
}
add_action('wp_authenticate','login_with_email_address');
function change_username_wps_text($text){
       if(in_array($GLOBALS['pagenow'], array('wp-login.php'))){
         if ($text == 'Username'){$text = 'Username / Email';}
            }
                return $text;
         }
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_username_wps_text' );
