I’ve done some more testing, and I appear to have it working now! What seems to have helped is to change something on and save the general settings, and then the design changes take effect.

That still seems like a bug, but a far more minor one. ??

I hope that this is able to help others wanting to use the Custom Login plugin on a WordPress multisite!

Thanks,
Sarah

Sorry, that should say:

I have confirmed that the enable toggle next to the “save x settings” button is on/checked.

Hi Austin,

Thanks very much for responding, and so quickly. ??

I have confirmed that the enable toggle next to the “save x settings” button. I tried making an additional change to test this, which is to disable the WP logo. Here’s a screenshot of the page, with my setting changes plus the toggle highlighted: https://i.getf.ly/BluOExKw. Still, no change to the default login page at /wp-login.php with these settings saved.

Is there anything else that you can suggest I try or check?

Thank you,
Sarah

…if I use the User Role Editor plugin to give editors the “manage_options” capability (the one referenced in options.php), they are able to save the theme options. However, it also opens up access to the settings menu, plus various other menus for plugins I have installed, which is access I don’t really want less tech savvy users to have. Surely there’s a better way?!

Okay, I’ve made some progress with this.

I started over with the code available from this page. Copying and pasting it into my functions.php file worked, so I started with that and tweaked it for my needs.

This is the resulting code (on pastebin).

Now the only problem is that when I log in as an editor, the editor can see the page but cannot make any changes. The capability level referenced is “edit_theme_options” and I have used the User Role Editor plugin to give editors that capability. If I try to save the page, logged in as an editor, I get that error message about cheating again.

It looks like the error message comes from the options.php file, which is being referenced as the form action. I obviously don’t want to edit core files, so I’m not sure what I can do to allow editors to change the theme options.

Again, any help is hugely appreciated. I’ve searched for answers and am struggling to find anything useful.

The site is on a local server but I’ve set up a quick test version where I can show you the same thing happening. It’s https://www.clearly-developed.co.uk/files/test/ – you’ll see on the homepage, only the date is displayed under each post title. But when you click through to one of the posts, the author name is displayed under the title as well.

Thanks,
Sarah

That works perfectly, thanks so much for the quick reply ??

Hi, I’m trying to do something very similar – have you had any luck in trying to figure this out?

I don’t think this is currently possible with Contact Form 7, but I would love to see this functionality included in a future update!!

I’m having a similar problem, I think. I use this plugin (version 2.2.3) on 3 different websites. Website 1 runs WP 3.2.1, website 2 runs WP 3.2, and website 3 (the one which has the problem) runs WP 3.1.3. I’m trying to schedule in a WordPress update for website 3, but I don’t think that’s the issue as before I updated website 2 from WP 3.1.3 it was working there.

I don’t know if it makes any difference, but all 3 are on the same server and are scheduled to backup and send the backup to my email address at 1am daily. I’ve never had a problem with it for websites 1 and 2, only website 3. To begin with it was working on website 3, but now it only occasionally sends a backup to my email address – it worked on Jun 21, Jun 22, Jun 25, Jun 27, Jun 29, Jul 4, and, strangely, today about 15 minutes ago.

I echo Christopher’s message: all help appreciated!

My main observation is the number of links you have in your menu. Perhaps you could think about reducing the number of links (ideally your main navigation should be all on one line) and using subnavigation.

The Google fonts appear to be working when I look at your website. The website uses a font which looks like handwriting and in the source code I can see that a plugin is setting some style rules for the h1, h2, h3, body and p tags.

If you’re not seeing this it’s possible that you are viewing a cached version of the page. Try holding down the shift key while you click refresh. If that doesn’t work, try closing your browser and opening it again. If you have another browser installed on your computer you could try viewing your website in that browser too.

You might want to consider using tags as well as categories. For example, you could have a category for ‘August 2011 edition’ and tags for ‘Apples’, ‘Oranges’ and Whatever’.

Hi Josh,

In my case it was just user error! I was using the wrong database password :-/ I didn’t check that immediately because usually if it’s an error connecting to the database you get an error message rather than a blank page.

Fingers crossed it’s something as simple as that for you too.
Sarah

Ooh, yes, thanks for pointing that out. I don’t like that at all.
