  Is it possible to remove the username field and allow customers to register with email and password only?

  I don’t think a username is necessary for an ecommerce store.

  Thanks for your time.

  Hello,

  You can remove this code in \themes\royal\framework\theme-functions.php file on line 1301-1304

  <p class="form-row">
  <label class=""><?php _e( "Enter your username", ETHEME_DOMAIN ) ?> <span class="required">*</span></label>
  <input type="text" name="username" class="text input-text" />
  </p>

  Don’t forget to make backup this file. Also recommended do all changes in Child Theme.
  About Child Theme you can read in out documentation:
  https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/royal/index.html#!/2_child_theme

  Hi, thanks for your reply but I’m not sure how to remove it through a child theme. I know how to use child themes for adding CSS and adding functions, but not removing them.

  Anyways, when I tried backing up the theme-functions.php file and deleting the code directly from the parent, it worked. The username field was removed, however, I got this error when trying to register without username:

  “Username already exists. Please try another one.”

  Please advise, thanks.

  Hello,

  Sorry, but there is such option by default.
  You may try to use this solution:
