 * Hi,
 * I just discovered that the “login” button on my widget appears to be an empty
   hole in the page. Its link works, as you can see in the screenshot. But no button
   image.
 * I have no idea when this may have happened, as I just don’t look at the page 
   in an incognito window very often.
 * Any ideas?

 * Hello [@carlseibert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlseibert/),
 * You have added some CSS to your child theme that is making it look like that.
   
   The rule is:
 *     ```
       .site-footer textarea, .site-footer input, .site-footer .widget_tag_cloud a {
           background-color: #fff;
       }
       ```
   
 * Change it to this and it shouldn’t affect the submit button anymore:
 *     ```
       .site-footer textarea, .site-footer input:not([type="submit"]), .site-footer .widget_tag_cloud a {
           background-color: #fff;
       }
       ```
   
 * Let me know if this worked !
 * Regards.

 * No effect. I tried changing the value in that CSS as it originally was and I 
   didn’t see any change one way or the other.
 * There is a block of CSS from the parent theme style.css in my child style.css,
   with some other rules changed. That particular one was not. It is just as it 
   was in the parent. I don’t think that would be meaningful, but I pass it on in
   any case.

 * So did you add this alongside the rest or edited the rule ? I pointed it out 
   because it’s in the child theme stylesheet and you should be able to change it.
   
   Also, due to how it works, it seems to be added on purpose so you should be able
   to tweak it.
 * Exact location of the file: `wp-content/themes/make-child/style.css` line 99.
 * Then again, you can leave it like that and just style the button again using 
   this:
 *     ```
       .wppb-user-forms input[type="submit"] {
           background-color: #171717;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards.
