Is there a way to add placeholder texts in the registration page and / or change the texts below the box? [CleanShot 2021-11-17 at 04.48.23]

I don’t think it’s possible with just CSS. Although there is a ::placeholder selector, that is used for styling an existing placeholder. However, it seems you can do it with JavaScript. By adding this to your theme’s tag in the Admin Settings: api.onPageChange(() => { document.getElementById('new-account-email').placeholder = 'Replace with your email placeholder'; document.getElementById('new-account-username').placeholder = 'Replace with your username placeholder'; document.getElementById('new-account-name').placeholder = 'Replace with your name placeholder'; document.getElementById('new-account-password').placeholder = 'Replace with your password placeholder'; });

Thank you, Ronny. I really appreciate your help. I’m trying that right now. But it seems like this is only a form that can be used after the user has signed up. Not before. But I’ll ask there to be sure if this use case is possible.

You can change the text that appears below the input field using the customize text option in the settings. Navigate to: Admin :arrow_right: Customize :arrow_right: Text Do a search for each of the following: email.instructions username.instructions name.instructions_required user.password.instructions Click the Edit button on the right Replace the text with your desired new text Click Save Changes

Thanks a lot, Keegan! That is a great solution! It works well. :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot, Keegan! This helps a lot.

Do you also happen to know how to change the CSS to add placeholder texts in the input field?
