    Hi,

    I have some content that goes before my register form with a little bit of instructions for visitors signing up on my site. The problem is, when the page get’s loaded, it automatically focuses on the first text input and positions the window to where that text input is – skipping the instruction content I would like them to read.

    Is there some way to disable this feature on that page? or altogether?

    thanks for the help – the plugin is great otherwise.

    Can you confirm that the following javascript is still output on the login page with that code in place?

    <script type="text/javascript">
function wp_attempt_focus() {
setTimeout( function() {
try {
d = document.getElementById('user_pass');
d.value = '';
d.focus();
} catch(e){}
}, 200 );
}
wp_attempt_focus();
if(typeof wpOnload=='function')wpOnload()
</script>

    Affirmative, still in there.

    When will the new version that you did that first bit of code for come out? It may not be worth all the hassle now if it needs to be changed again soon.

    Not sure what you mean. This feature will still be present in the next release.

    Nevermind, I thought you meant the first function you wrote is only working on version 7 of TML so I thought I might just wait until then to get it fixed.

    Can you point me towards the plugin file so I can delete the feature then? I am aware I will need to do it again on every upgrade but it seems the least time consuming solution for now.

    Comment out line 144 of theme-my-login/includes/class-theme-my-login.php.

    I deleted line 143 as it was the one containing the footer script part and it’s perfect now. Firefox still puts the input focus into the form field but it doesn’t clear out the saved username so that’s good enough for me. Thanks for all your time man, I’m really impressed with how smooth it runs. I believe I used it in 2011 and the progress from now to then is remarkable!

    I hadn’t tried to fix the error until now, and it looks like commenting out the line worked. It would be great in another release if the input focus could be an option on the admin side. Thanks again for the great plugin and all your help!

    I wanted to reply on another thread with same topic where you suggested the following code:

    remove_action( ‘wp_print_footer_scripts’, array( &$GLOBALS[‘theme_my_login’], ‘print_footer_scripts’ ) );

    This is not working for me and I noticed ‘print_footer_scripts’ should be ‘wp_print_footer_scripts’.

    Any suggestion? Thanks

    The global variable $theme_my_login is no longer set. Use the code above.

    I managed to prevent the nick deletion at the login screen by commenting the line 1209 from ‘/theme-my-login/includes/class-theme-my-login.php’ (it might vary with updates).

    Which is the following code under the ‘public function wp_print_footer_scripts()’, on the ‘login’ case.
    d.value = '';
