How to Change the Borderline of the Login Fields

Introduction

Customizing the border of the login fields on the login page is not a built-in feature of BuddyBoss. However, you can achieve this using a small custom function added to your active theme. This guide explains how to change the borderline of the login fields.

Custom Workaround

Before proceeding, make sure you have a complete site backup.

1. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor in your WordPress admin dashboard.
   
2. Under Select theme to edit, choose your active theme (preferably a BuddyBoss Child Theme), then click Select.
   
3. From the Theme Files list, open Theme Functions (functions.php).
   
4. Add the following code just before the closing PHP tag (?>):
   

function custom_login_logo() {
    echo '<style type="text/css">
        .login form#loginform .input {
            border: 1px solid #000000!important; /* Change #000000 to your preferred color */
        }
    </style>';
}
add_action('login_head', 'custom_login_logo');

5. Click Update File to save the changes.
   

Note: Modifications are typically considered custom work, but we are making an exception in this case. Please review the BuddyBoss Support Policy.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The border color didn’t change after adding the code.
A: Ensure the code is added to the active theme’s functions.php file. Clear your browser cache and any caching plugin to see the change.

Q: Can I change the border color?
A: Yes. Replace #000000 with any valid color code (hex, RGB, or named color).

Q: Can I adjust the border thickness?
A: Yes. Change the 1px value in border: 1px solid #000000 to your desired thickness.

Q: Will this affect other forms on the site?
A: No. This CSS targets only the login page fields.
