 * When the auth box is shown, the first field (day field) show a ‘6’ instead of
   a standard ‘dd’ placeholder.

 * Hi [@koolmind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koolmind/),
 * The link to the image doesn’t seem to work.
 * Is it a 6 as a placeholder, or a value. The placeholder could only be something
   other than DD if it’s picked up from a translation file.
 * `placeholder="<?php _e('DD', 'age-gate'); ?>"`
 * Thanks
    Phil

 * Hi [@koolmind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koolmind/),
 * The site is not in English so it is using some translations – the year box being
   AAAA rather than YYYY indicates that, but they are common ones.
 * That said, the yellow highlight in the box suggests the browser has auto filled
   it. Does the same thing happen on all browsers?
 * If you have a URL I can see I’d be happy to have a look.
 * Thanks
    Phil

 * Hi [@koolmind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koolmind/),
 * I can see it locally if I switch to italian. It looks like and error in the translation
   file WP will automatically get. You can see this issue in the last entry here:
   
   [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/age-gate/dev/it/default?page=17](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/age-gate/dev/it/default?page=17)
 * I don’t manage these translations, they’re community driven, but I have submitted
   and update. I’ll look into a work around until it is updated.
 * Thanks

 * Not a big deal… I hope this issue will disappear in the future! 😉
