"Remember me" error

Hello,

Has anyone else experience this error? I have attached a picture to demonstrate the problem. Basically, there are the two “dormant” remember me buttons. Nothing happens when you click on either one. This error occurs on all major browsers. Is it possible to reduce this to one button and just make it work? Thanksremembermeerror.png

This will happen if there are two controls with the same ID on the page. So – I am guessing you probably have a sidebar widget or form with the login fields and a second ‘remember me’ control. The only solution is to get rid of one of them I am afraid. Either the sidebar login or the forum login! They both do the same job of course except that the forum login form is only visible on the forum page.

Is there a way to simply remove or hide the ‘remember me’ function ?

you could remove them with jquery… but it might just be easier to hide the forum one with css (cant tell you how to hide the other without seeing the css…

to hide ours, add this to your theme:

#spLoginForm #rememberme + label.list {display:none;}

I’m not very good with this. 

 

1. Firstly, will this hide the entire login function on the forum, or just the “remember me” part? I only want to hide the “remember me” part.

2. Where exactly do I put this? I went to Theme Editor and I am using the CSS Only theme. I pasted it at the bottom and nothing changed. More detail please!

 

Thank you

yes, it will hide the remember me part only… on the forum inline login form…

I just tried it again and it works fine…  after making the change, be sure to clear your browser cache…

I cleared my cache and it is not working.

Again, I am not very good at this. Please tell me what file am I editing, is it css-only.css?

Please tell me exactly the file I need to edit and exactly the place to put the code. Thank you.

you edit YOUR SP theme… not ours… you should have created your own SP theme prior to making any changes…

see:  http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/

then in YOUR sp theme, edit the css-only.css file and at the ened of the file, add:

#spLoginForm #rememberme + label.list {display:none;}

it does work – just tried it again..

It’s not working. I created a new theme and did exactly as you said, and no luck. Can I send you a PM with my information and you can login and change it? Please.
