Plus addressing in Join modal gives “Email or Username Incorrect” error

Is it possible to allow the modal Sign in/Join dialog to accept ‘plus addressing’ such as name+something@email.com (+something is the plus addressing part) when creating a new account?

Switching ‘Verify email on sign up’ to off does not have an effect on this. (Theme panel > Header > Sign in/Join)

Hi,

If you are referring to the pop-up modal, then the only way to add extra fields is to edit the theme files, use a child theme ….
What can be tried is the new option for login/register that is added in tagDiv Composer by the plugin tagDiv Optin Builder.

Thank you!

Hi Calin – I’m not looking to add a new field. I want to allow the use of an email address that contains a plus ‘+’ character in it, like in the screenshot below.

Hi,
Unfortunately, this requires custom modifications to the theme, and can only be done by a developer.
Thank you for your understanding!

I understand that, Calin – please consider this a feature request to make it RFC 5322 compliant. (Or at least allow ‘+’ and ‘.’ in the email address field because those are commonly used.)

Hi,
I added this as a suggestion on our list and our manager will check it.
Thank you!
