 * Hello,
 * I’ve inherited a site that uses the Members plugin. The page that’s shown to 
   non-logged in users is full of spelling mistakes, but I can’t edit it. The message
   shown in the settings>content-permissions>error message is not what is shown 
   on the front end page, nor does it change when I edit it. Can you point me to
   the right spot, please?
 * Thanks for the help.
 * / clif

 * Hi [@cjbrigden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cjbrigden/)
 * Please open the page that has a different error message in WordPress Dashboard,
   scroll down to the Content Permissions section, and check the “Error Message”
   tab. It allows you to override global error settings, so your error could come
   up from page content permission settings.
 * Hopefully, that helps.

 * Hi [@caseproof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caseproof/) Thanks for the
   reply. Apologies for being so laggy in response, I’ve been traveling.
 * I don’t see any tabs that exactly relate to your answer.
 * Here’s the admin panel:
 * [https://gyazo.com/347959b69997156061134180d9ed7e36](https://gyazo.com/347959b69997156061134180d9ed7e36)
 * And here’s the error message as it appears on the front end.
 * [https://gyazo.com/8694e9b001151f622b9a0d2659c61d6b](https://gyazo.com/8694e9b001151f622b9a0d2659c61d6b)
 * I want the text shown in the admin panel _(You must be a member to visit the 
   Resident’s Portal. Please log-in or click the link below to Register.)_ to display
   on the front end. What adjustments do I make?
 * thanks / clif

 * [@cjbrigden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cjbrigden/) Can you open the
   page where you want this error in the WordPress dashboard, scroll down to the
   bottom, and see if you have the Content Permissions section. Here is the screenshot
   for reference: [https://share.cspf.co/P8uGmoy5](https://share.cspf.co/P8uGmoy5)
 * You need to add your error to the content editor in Error Message tab.
 * ​I hope it helps and makes sense.

 * Ah yes, thanks, that makes sense now 🙂 I appreciate your help.
 * Is there any way to style the forms? I’m using a large default body font because
   the site has many visually impaired users, but it makes the form quite messy.
 * I’d like the _Username or Email_ label not to break into 2 lines, if possible,
   and also get the _Remember Me_ checkbox closer to the label.
 * Thanks again for your help.

 * The cause of this is some styling issues. Can you send me the link to the Login
   page, so I’ll send you some code to fix it?
 * Kind regards
