 * Hello again.
 * I need to customize the forms, hopefully you can help.
 * 1. How do I put in placeholders on the login form fields?
    2. Any way to customize
   the look of the file upload field? 3. How do I change the text of the login submit
   button?

 * To change things with the login form inputs (i.e. putting in placeholders), you
   can use the wpmem_login_form_rows filter:

 * There is a ready-made code snippet (and some for the register form and widget
   login as well) in a tutorial post available to support site subscribers:

 * Upload fields are kind of browser specific. But you can generally customize them
   with CSS. Try a google search:

 * For more complex CSS, you may want to implement a custom stylesheet for the plugin,
   but for most instances, the plugin does allow for you to work on form elements
   in the WordPress Customizer so you can use the Customizer’s Custom CSS feature,
   which is fairly easy to do. There are instructions in the plugin’s docs here:

 * You can customize the Heading and Submit button text for the login form with 
   the wpmem_inc_login_args filter:
