I wouldn’t call that a bug. A lot of the styling has changed in 1.7. That looks like it is just not working quite the same with your custom style.

It could be fixed quite simply with css.

Can you post a link to the page?

Ok this isn’t perfect but it should work.

Go to ‘Appearance’ > ‘Editor’

On the right hand side select ‘style.css’

Scroll down to the bottom and right after the last }

paste this:

`
div#register-page.page {
height: 600px;
}
`

A better way would be to create a child theme (https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) and then paste this into the style.css of the child theme. This is because whenever you change your theme you will need to add this again for it to work.

Try and avoid setting fixed height on elements, it’s not best practise unless there’s a specific reason and the consequences understood.

If the child elements are floated and the parent needs to enclose the floats – not the accepted behaviour of floats – then you must ‘clear’ or ‘contain’ your floats, in many circumstances this can be achieved by adding ‘overflow: hidden’ to the parent to force a new context.

The ‘Smashing Magazine’ article is, unusually, not a particularly good one and is just paraphrasing various classic but old articles; it’s section on float containment is NOT best practise- in fact it’s bad practice and should not be followed.

It’s a good read, regardless. Help educate, instead of working for free.
