Topic: Style for wp-signup.php

Enjoying arras at my site, but network mode is enabled and arras doesn't have support for wp-signup.php and so the signup page looks pretty bad (as you can see here: http://www.danbirlew.com/wp-signup.php) In order to style this page I think maybe you'll need to add a theme template for this page or modify home.php to include all instances from wp-signup.php? Not sure, I'm not a php genius like you guys wink but maybe if you look through the file you'll see an easier way.

Re: Style for wp-signup.php

The search function is a pain in the butt.

Anyway, I just figured out how to style wp-signup.php for Arras, specifically, and thought I'd share with other network site users.

1. Download wp-signup.php from your server.
2. Create a backup copy of this file, in another folder. DO NOT EVER DELETE THIS FILE.
3. Open wp-signup.php in a text editor, preferably something like Notepad++.
4. Go to line 62, which reads:

<div id="content" class="widecolumn">

Replace it with:

<div id="content" class="section">

Press return to create a new line and insert:

<div class="entry-content clearfix">

5. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the file. At line 454 you'll see the following:

</div>
</div>

Copy one of those and create a third closing div tag directly below them, so that you see this:

</div>
</div>
</div>

6. The last line of the code calls the footer. Right above it, insert the get_sidebar code, so that it looks like this:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

7. Save the file and upload it to the root directory of your WordPress installation, overwriting the previous version.
8. Go to http://yourdomain.com/wp-signup.php and view the changes. It now displays within Arras correctly. See an example here: http://www.danbirlew.com/wp-signup.php

If you ever switch to another theme besides Arras, you must revert to the old wp-signup.php. Upload the backup I told you to make in step 2 above.
