# Compatible with Allow Multiple Accounts plugin?

* Hi,
* I need a registration solution which allows multiple accounts to use the same
e-mail address. I tried to do this using Profile Builder (with a default value
in the email field) and the Allow Multiple Accounts plugin, but I still get the“
this email address is already in use” error message.
* Do you know of a plugin/code that will accomplish this with Profile Builder?
Really want to use your plugin for this.
* Thanks!

* By the way, I understand the importance of the e-mail address for security, but
in this case the website is not publicly accessible.

* Hi Jeff,
* Theoretically you could write a piece of code to make the two compatible, however,
for it to work correctly it’s just to much work for something that’s an edge
case.
* You can use this code to register users via out register form with the same email
address, however, I do not know how this impacts the password reset or edit profile
forms:
* ```

* Remove the email validation for email already exists.

* Hi Cristian,
* Thanks for your reply. I put your code in my child theme’s function.php file,
but I get a 500 error message, so something’s not right. Any ideas?

made a mistake somewhere.

* Glad that worked out for you!
* Also, I was wondering, once you will have started using PB for a while, will
it be too much to ask for you to leave a review of PB on [http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/profile-builder](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/profile-builder)?
One or two sentences will do it and it may help us to reach more people as well
as get feedback from existing users.

* Oh wait, too fast.
* I can add users in the front end without e-mail address, but the newly registrated
users don’t show up in de user list in wp-admin.

db and no new user is added.

* Make sure Allow Multiple Accounts is active and configured. The two plugins should
now work.

* Basically you need to have the email address added to Allow Multiple Accounts
settings or enable it for all emails.

* Works like a charm!
* I thought your solution worked independantly of allow multiple accounts, but
I get it now. Activated the Allow Multiple Accounts plugin and works great.
