 * Does anyone know if there is a way to add a simple register form with only the
   email address feild and this then creates a new user? (In other words no username
   or password in the register form.)

 * I tried this just now for an event related site. It’s 100% hacky, but on wp_login.
   php, about line 298, I added a $user_login = $user_email:
 *     ```
       function register_new_user( $user_login, $user_email ) {
       	$errors = new WP_Error();
       	$user_login = $user_email;
   
       	$sanitized_user_login = sanitize_user( $user_login );
       ```
   
 * This makes the login field data irrelevant, and replaces with the email address.
   Then, it sanitazes and continue with the registration process.
    Then, you should
   remove or hide the user_login text field I’m not sure if it’s the best way to
   do it, but it works for now.
 * It’s important to note that I made this form not available for the general public,
   it just for event organizers.
