 6. ✅ Patch is solving the problem

 In `wp-activate.php` with an input field to enter activation key:
 1. In a multisite, head over to `yoursite.com/wp-activate.php`
 2. Observe the pages styling before applying the patch and after.
 3. ✅ Patch is solving the problem.

 In `wp-signup.php`:
 1. In a multisite install, ensure that the **Both sites and user accounts
 can be registered** under **Settings > Network settings > Allow new
 registrations** is selected.
 2. In an incognito tab head over to `yoursite.com/wp-signup.php`.
 2. Observe the pages styling before applying the patch and after.
 4. ✅ Patch is solving the problem.

 === Expected result

 activate.php` and `wp-signup.php has changed.
