    Hi there,

    How can I turn off the “Unique” validation on the Email field of a registration form? I work with publicists who contribute on behalf of multiple clients, who wish to use the same email for different accounts. Because of the Unique validation, they cannot sign up using our regular registration form for an additional account for each new client, despite my WordPress install being set up to allow multiple accounts.

    I am running 1.1.5 Pro. Thanks for your assistance.

    Hello,
    Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t support duplicate username and email.

    Hi Khaled,

    Actually WordPress does allow duplicate emails with the plugin Allow Multiple Accounts (http://wordpress.org/plugins/allow-multiple-accounts/). I can go into the backend of my install and add a new user (with a new username) with the same email account as a previous one through the backend, which is why I said my install allows this. However, User Meta Pro is not allowing me to do so through the front end form.

    Okay, go to user-meta/models/classes/umFieldClass.php and comment line number 69

    $this->rules[] = 'unique';

    HI, I need this too but have installed user meta pro 1.2.1 and do not see this class anymore. Can you make this an option (allow same email address) in your user meta admin settings please?
