Adding below code to your _functions.php will enable your users to login with their email address or username. At the moment one can login only with username.

function login_with_email_address($username) {
$user = get_user_by_email($username);
if(!empty($user->user_login))
$username = $user->user_login;
return $username;
}
add_action(‘wp_authenticate’,’login_with_email_address’);

No this must go in your _functions.php file in your themes folder. If you don’t have _functions.php file then see attached.
Copy the file to your theme directory, see example below:

wp-content\themes\directorypress\themes\directorypress-Glow-Directory\_functions.php

btw, custom styles box is for css
