I've searched and searched and haven't found a setting or solution for this.

In the login form created with [frm-login] how can I change "username" to "Email Address".

Is there a parameter for that? 

Thanks for any help, 

Chris

Isn't this covered here -> https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/user-registration/add-login-form-to-your-site/#kb-label-parameters

So easy now that you point that out 🙂

I certainly couldn't find that when I was looking for it the other day. I kept running across this page: https://formidableforms.com/how-to-create-custom-login-form-in-wordpress/

It would be handy if FF linked the part of the page that says there's a bunch of parameters to the page with the parameters 🙂

Thanks Bobby!

Good point Bobby. I looked back at my issue and it was the reset-password page that has the problem. There's no such option for that page.

I just had the same need. It should be logged as a feature request to Formidable. I "solved" it by using jQuery to adjust the text when the form is loaded.

Thanks Rob, I'll probably go the php function route. It's odd they don't have a build in way to do that. Thanks for confirming that they don't 🙂
