 * Hi
    I’m familiar with WordPress, but not completely. I was asked by a friend 
   to help out with some glitches on his site and I thought I’d ask here before 
   diving right in.
 * URL: [http://www.jracus.com/](http://www.jracus.com/)
    Problems/glitches: 1) 
   Within the Client Log In pop up, the Password box borders (css?) are highlighted
   in a “darker” black than the Username boxes. Do i enter custom css in the “custom
   css” class box? If so, what’s the formatting in there?
 * See screenshot, page 1- [http://www.theaccardos.com/wordpress-projects/screenshots-wordpress.pdf](http://www.theaccardos.com/wordpress-projects/screenshots-wordpress.pdf)
 * 2) Within the Forgot Password? pop up, the error phrase drops to a second line
   when you press Submit without entering any text when using Firefox.
 * 3) Functionality issue with the Client Log In link–see here page 1 [http://www.theaccardos.com/wordpress-projects/screenshots-wordpress.pdf](http://www.theaccardos.com/wordpress-projects/screenshots-wordpress.pdf)
 * 4) How is a catchall page set up? I’d like to get rid of the 404 error pages (
   so that if someone types in url/anything it goes to home page.
 * 5) How come the site sometimes takes a good 6-10 seconds to load? I tried earlier
   today and it loaded quickly, but I’m at a different PC now and it’s taking the
   6-10 seconds that he told me was happening with him.
 * Thanks so much! This is an excellent forum!!! 🙂
    Appreciate your support and
   feedback! 🙂

 * 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.

 * 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](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css).

 * 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?

 * 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](http://imgur.com/) if you’re unsure how to answer
   my questions.)

 * 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?
