    Thanks for such a detailed answer! Plus it was incredibly helpful to have the context. I had seen several references to "walled garden" as I poked around the PHP and CSS, but thanks to you, I now understand what it's referring... view reply

    Thanks for the reply! My Elgg version is 6.1. I want to change the module with the login form on the page. Even if you ignore the background image (which you should!), you will see that the left and right sides of the form are not visible.... view reply

      To actually reply to your point about CSS--Yes, I have experience with CSS. I'm fairly good at it.

      With such a careful and specific answer, I'm sure I'll have something working in reasonably short time. I'm very grateful.

    • I just wanted to report back that I was able to create the ultra-simple plugin thanks to the detailed instructions.

      I had to make just two changes:

      1. In the PHP file elgg-plugin.php, I had to change the reference from `elgg.css` to `walled_garden.css`.
      2. In the CSS file style.css, I had to use the element `.elgg-page-walled-garden>.elgg-inner` to override the value for `min-width` (to 22rem).

      That was all it took! Thanks again for the great help.

    • You're welcome.

      I hope you have a happy and successful 2025!
