    hi,
    I found out that UM registration form has a type=text for e-mail field, and I would need to change it to email in order to synchronize with my crm tool.

    – 1 > is there a technical important reason why you set it up to text instead of email ?
    – 2 > is it possible to change it ?

    I can’t use a custom field with that type, as the “email” type does not exist in UM, and I am afraid that just changing the “type” value to “email” in the php function defining predefined fields in builtin will just break everything 😉

    thanks for your help

    Hi @5mart4zz

    You can use this code snippet to change the type to email. But you still have to fix the style after adding this code snippet:

    add_filter('um_get_field__user_email', function( $data ){

    $data['input'] = 'email';
    
    return $data;
});

    CSS

    .um.um-register input[data-key="user_email"]{
    position: relative;
    padding: 15px 0 0 0;
    width: 100%;
    border: 0px;
}

    Hi @5mart4zz

    You can add the PHP code in your theme’s functions.php file or use the Code Snippet plugin. For the CSS, you can add it to your theme’s style.css
