 * When a user enters an incorrect password/username combination, the box for an
   error appears but there is no text in it. Can anyone help with this?
 * Here is a screenshot of how it looks when the error box appears: [http://screencast.com/t/RQHZvRTQemYr](http://screencast.com/t/RQHZvRTQemYr)

 * Yeah…I had to disable this plugin. I think it may have done something to the .
   hataccess file that ended up breaking my site.

 * What other plugins do you have installed? Some security plugins disable login
   errors. Also, TML does not modify any .htaccess files.

 * You’re right–I discovered later on that I believe the .htaccess file was altered
   by the iThemes Security plugin. Do you think it’s possible this plugin is interfering
   with the error message from TML?

 * Quite possibly… not familiar with it though.
