For extra security, I have set my login up to accept only email addresses from users. I would like to change the text on the login modal to reflect that users need to input their email addresses and not usernames.
Hello, have you tried to use Loco Translate plugin to edit that string?

Theme strings and plugins strings can easily be changed by using Loco Translate plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/
<h3>A small introduction on how translations work</h3>
Translatable strings can come from the theme or from the installed plugins. You need to translate the theme or the plugin depending on what section of the site your string is found.For example if your string is on your BuddyPress profile then most probably you will need to translate BuddyPress plugin. If you are on the Forums section of your site then bbPress plugin should be the one that needs to be translated. Another example is the rtMedia plugin that adds the Media links to BuddyPress and if you want to translate it then this plugin will contain the string.
<h3>Follow these steps to get you started:</h3>- Install Loco Translate plugin
- Go to the plugin dashboard: WP Admin – Tools – Manage translations
- Find the theme or plugin in the list.
- If the language isn’t already in the list then click Add new language, choose your language and if you are asked where you want to save the language files choose global language directory ( wp-content/languages/ ).
- Press SYNC button to synchronise your translation with the provided .pot file
- Search for the string you want to translate and add your translated string.
- Press Save when you finished your translation.
Note: You will have to set the language for your blog from WP-admin – Settings – General – Site Language – Choose your language
Cheers

I’ve now discovered another problem. When I translated the word “Username” to “Email Address”, it changed it on the login modal, but also changed it on the “Create Account/Registration” form. I need new users to choose a username when they create their account/register, but once they are registered users, want them to use their email address (not username) when they log in. How do I change the text on the login modal without changing it on the registration form?
Hello, at Users > Profile fields, you can change the name field to say Username so they put it there 🙂

I have attached a jpg of the three forms that are affected. As you can see, I need username, email address and password entered on the “create an account” pages. After a user has created an account, I need the “sign in” form to read “email address” in the field where it currently says “username”. (I am requiring email addresses to log in and when it says “username” it is confusing and also doesn’t accept the username to log in.)
I translated the word “Username” to “Email Address” using the Loco Translate plugin but although it changed “username” to “email address” on the sign-in form, it also changed it on the “Create Account/Registration” form so there were two “email address” fields and no “username” field on the create account form.
If I change the profile field so it says “email address”, then I won’t have a field for “username”, which I still require on the registration form.
This is a big problem and I will lose users because they think they can’t sign-in after creating an account. I really hope there’s a way for me to change “username” to “email address” on the sign-in form but NOT on the create account forms. Please help with this.
Thanks.

Hi,
Using FTP connect to your website and navigate to wp-content/themes/sweetdate-child/ create folder page-parts (wp-content/themes/sweetdate-child/page-parts) create a file named general-login-modal.php
In that you will paste this content: http://pastebin.com/raw/SQ6uqNbD
that’s all
Make sure to have child theme installed and activated
