Using several fields for Duplicate Entry

  1. I have a registration form but want to allow multiple registrations per email address but not allow a name to be entered twice for a specific email address.

    for example:
    joe@joe.com john joe (ok)
    joe@joe.com john joe (duplicate)
    steve@joe.us john joe (ok)

    hope that makes sense. Basically its like creating a unique ID made up of the email address and first and last names together.

  2. WordPress requires user registration emails be unique. You can do whatever you want with your form submissions, but WordPress will not allow duplicate email addresses for users.
