styling the login widget

  • Hi, I’m searching the login widget code to aply some style to it, but I can’t find how to do it.

    there is some css file to add my own rules or anyone can tell me where to find the rights lines to do it?

    this would be a great addition to the plugin, and hopefully not be the only person who would like to do a little more uniform login widget with the theme of my site

  • The only way to do this with the Members plugin is to know CSS and target your login form in your theme’s stylesheet. Use your browser’s developer tools or Firebug to find the appropriate selectors.

    Depending on how your sidebars are registered, you may be able to use something like this selector to style your login widget.

    li.widget.login {list-style:none; margin:1em 2em;}

    It really isn’t the place for the plugin to add CSS to style this widget. Sure, if it done something out of the ordinary, it’d be a good idea. But, this is just basic a basic HTML form. Any well-designed theme should have styles that already handle the output of a basic form.

    Just to test this, I dropped the widget into the sidebar of one of my more recent themes, Stargazer, which actually does properly include styles for HTML forms, and it worked great. Here’s a quick screenshot:

    You really should talk to your theme author. Ask him if he’d consider adding some better styes for forms in his theme. Finding an better theme is also an alternative. I know all of my most recent themes have proper styles for forms.

    I have the Legenda theme, just purchased it so should be latest version. And when I enable the members login, it just looks like WordPress login. Is there a way to get a nice layout on the login for Legenda?

    Like I said earlier, any well-designed theme will handle a basic HTML form like the login widget. I wouldn’t expect much coming out of a ThemeForest theme. They’re notorious for having poor coding. But, you can always ask your theme author about it.
