Hacktoberfest - Pull request 4 - Fixing a UI Bug in "Lifestyle-Ecommerce-Website"

We are nearing the end of Hacktoberfest and that means we are finishing the challenge with our fourth and final pull request. In my  previous post , I announced and explained my third pull request for this year's Hacktoberfest event, where I enhanced the UI/UX of Rhymus, a web based word-puzzle game designed to improve a users vocabulary. I also went on to say that my goal for this pull request will be to solve an actual bug within the code of a project, meaning  correcting an actual flaw, rather than enhancements and additions which I had done so far.

This post will detail my successful first pull request to the RawCMS project along with some information about the project itself.
