@taisa1984 – I’m running 1.8.0 and I’m still seeing API errors. Not only that, there’s no direct Gutenberg compatibility – you have to go through a lot of work to generate the shortcode and then add a shortcode block (which hasn’t always worked for me!)

There’s no guaranteed support, which is very sad indeed! A lot of good people, reliant on this method of marketing, will have lost a lot of time and money – as well as risking their hosting company stopping their site altogether (some do for high CPU)

@amazonlinkbuilder – we need some insight here 🙁

No worries – thanks for taking a look! 😀

It’s a big’gun:

@amazonlinkbuilder – are you able to advise at all please?

I’m still seeing a large number of API errors being logged, upgrading to 1.9.0/1.9.1/1.9.2 makes the issues even worse and results in massive CPU resource consumption (massive number of (unnecessary?) API calls + DB updates/reads by the looks of it) which ultimately results in my server falling over!

Is there a more “formal” support channel that I can contact to liaise/provide further details – via the associates dashboard there doesn’t seem to be anything? It seems that fundamental/core/major issue threads are going unanswered/ignored here whilst the “quick and easy” threads are getting quick responses and closed off 🙁 I understand that, trust me – I do… but even the slightest update would go a long way here.

I’m not the only one facing these issues, per the following few threads that are similarly related:

Thanks @videousermanuals! No time wasted – a good learning curve for me 🙂

I worked out the JS and CSS I need in my case:

document.getElementById('user_login').placeholder='username';
document.getElementById('user_pass').placeholder='password';

input#user_login, 
input#user_pass {
    text-align: center;
}

::-webkit-input-placeholder {
   text-align: center;
   vertical-align: middle;
   opacity: .2;
}

:-moz-placeholder {
   text-align: center;  
   vertical-align: middle;
   opacity: .5;
}

::-moz-placeholder {
   text-align: center;  
   vertical-align: middle;
   opacity: .5;
}

:-ms-input-placeholder {  
   text-align: center;
   vertical-align: middle;
   opacity: .5;
}

Now I just need to work out how to apply it to the wp-login page only and I’m all good 😀

Hey @videousermanuals

Where is login-bg1.jpg coming from? That’s not a file/folder I personally have?

Furthermore, having a background image wouldn’t resolve the issue of either having labels, or placeholders.

The problem is, the standard wp-login form is formatted as follows

<label>
    <input>
</label>

So if you then display: none; the form label, that also removes the input box.

I’ve hacked around this with some CSS to remove the labels, however there are no placeholder‘s as part of the standard wp-login form. Even if I used a background-image, that wouldn’t resolve the issue as when a user types in the input box, the “placeholder” would still be there as it’s part of the background, NOT an actual placeholder?

See: https://willstocks.co.uk/ as an example.

Hi Craig,

Sorry – yes it was displaying a feed that has now been made private.

I’ll pop another feed in there in a bit for you! 🙂
