 * Hello

   change the CSS but don’t know what bit.
 * Using theme Twenty Eleven.

 * Hi Baszer
 * I put the text in my child theme and it didn’t work. I looked in the Twenty Eleven
   style css sheet and couldn’t find the text to make the width change.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks
    Bea

 * try:
 * `.widget_bp_core_login_widget input { width: 95%; }`
 * btw:
 * please remove this invalid section from the end of _style.css_:
 *     ```
       // Don’t record activity by the site admins or show them as recently active
        function my_admin_stealth_mode(){
        if ( is_site_admin() ) {
        global $bp;
        remove_action(‘wp_head’,’bp_core_record_activity’);
       delete_user_meta($bp->loggedin_user->id, ‘last_activity’);
        }
        }
       add_action(‘init’,’my_admin_stealth_mode’);
       ```

 * it is only hard when one dose not at least know the basics of the allowed CSS
   syntax.
 * there is more invalid stuff in _style.css_ of the child theme, for example these`
   <style>` and `</style>` – those are for html files:
 *     ```
       <style>
       input{
       max-width:100%;
       padding: 4px 0 4px 0;
       }
       </style>
       ```
