Hi there terrihenry1,
Thanks for posting, I’ll be happy to help!
Generally speaking, most WordPress themes will have existing CSS which determines the colors and styles of the form submit button, so it may be necessary to locate and edit the CSS for your specific theme.
However you can inject some additional button styles in the mailchimp_widget.php
file in the #mc_signup_submit
section of the CSS. Adding background: _______ ;
to the CSS in the submit button section would allow you to override the background color with a color of your choice using a hex color code in the blank.
For example, here’s the line I added to my CSS to test: https://eepurl.com/5QM01
And here’s a screenshot of the change showing the default button color (green) as well as my new MailChimp button color (blue): https://eepurl.com/5QM9L
Make sure to remove any spaces before the opening <?php
tag when editing/saving changes to the code in the mailchimp_widget.php
file. Certain editors will add additional spaces at the beginning of the <?php
tag which can cause issues after the edits are saved.
Let us know if there’s anything further we can assist with! Have a great day.
