for the problem 1:
In the current theme folder(I think it is Divi) update the following code at line 95 in the style.css file
Add the input[type=”password”] to the following code:
input[type=”text”], input.text, input.title, textarea, select {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #bbb;
color: #933333;
padding: 2px;
}
So, it now it should be like as follows:
input[type=”text”], input.text, input.title, textarea, select, input[type=”password”] {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #bbb;
color: #933333;
padding: 2px;
}
for the problem 2:
I think you want the error phrase in one line under the text box. in this case add CSS style display:inline-block to the #name-error.
thanks so much. What’s the best way to access the theme folder? Thanks again for your help. So great!
Through FTP you can access the theme folder. I think you know the theme folder path wp-content/themes/<theme_name>
Great.. 🙂 Yes, i do know the path- where is the FTP access info on WP dashboard? All i was given to help out was access to his WP dashboard.
Depending on how your friend has WordPress set up, you may be able to use the built-in editor found at Dashboard > Appearance > Editor. But be aware that if you edit the theme files, you’ll lose those changes if the theme is ever updated, to fix bugs or security issues or to add new features. Instead, you should use your theme’s built-in custom CSS option, if it has one, or a custom CSS plugin.
Hi Stephen- thanks so much for your feedback.
Bsaed on your advice- I would prefer to use the custom css option.
What’s the format for entering in there– can i use mm_developer’s code above and drop it in the custom css box? As is?
input[type=”text”], input.text, input.title, textarea, select, input[type=”password”] {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #bbb;
color: #933333;
padding: 2px;
}
Thanks so much.
Yes, you can do that. You could also shorten it to just
input[type="password"] {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #bbb;
color: #933333;
padding: 2px;
}
Stephen- thanks again, you are so kind.
I am in the dashboard and realized that there is only one line for Custom CSS and they’re looking for the class name- I’ve used drupal in the past and their dashboard allowed for a few lines of code simeilar to what you have above. I don’t see the space for that here- any ideas where to put that?
Screencast here–

Did you install a custom CSS plugin or are you using your theme’s built-in custom CSS option? If you’re using a plugin, which one did you install?
(I’m asking these questions because I don’t have Flash installed on this computer and I can’t see your screencast. You could post a relevant screenshot to an image-hosting service like Imgur if you’re unsure how to answer my questions.)
No, I didn’t install a plugin. 🙁 should i?
Your theme appears to have a custom CSS option available at Dashboard > Divi > Theme Options > General Settings > Custom CSS, located at the very bottom of the page. You should be able to copy and paste the code into that box.
Thanks so much stephencottontail. I see exactly where you are saying to add the custom css and will do so.
Is it possible to also have the Client Log In and Forget Password? pop up boxes reset (i.e., clear the inputted info and rejection messages) when you click on the Client Log In link in the upper right-hand corner after user info is entered? The prior login
info and rejection messages pop back up when you click on the Client Log In link only (as opposed to escaping out or pressing the logo in the upper right-hand corner). Presently, both reset when you click on the website logo or after a user escapes out—which is perfect. Can we do the same when the Client Log In link is pressed, i.e., clear the input fields and all rejection messages (within Username and Password) ?
Are you using a plugin to generate the login form or does your theme include a login form?
