 * Hi [@thesmallgroups](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thesmallgroups/), the
   issue seems to be that your form has too much padding — more padding than the
   width of the box. So, while you can click in the box, the cursor is outside the
   viewing area
 * I’m guessing that’s being added by your theme somehow. You can override it with
   this CSS:
 *     ```
       input#jetpack_protect_answer {
           padding: 0px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * And then adjust the padding to something appropriate. You can also adjust the
   box size if you need to.

 * When I try to login to WordPress to edit the CSS, it redirects me to my website
   to signin, which I cannot because of the aforementioned math problem. Is there
   a way to edit the CSS from the WordPress dashboard or to shut off the Jetpack
   plugin from the WP dashboard as the math problem prohibits me from entering WP
   Admin.
