[Plugin: MailChimp List Subscribe Form] Can't see the subscribe text

Hey there, Trevor!

Generally, the best way to do this is to isolate that specific ID and class in the CSS, and style it manually. I like to use Chrome’s “Developer Tools” to narrow it down by right clicking on the area I want to change and go to “Inspect Element”. From there, you can isolate and change specific CSS elements.

For the “subscribe” button, you’ll want to add this to your site’s Style.css file:

#mc_signup_submit.button {
background-color:  blue;
color: white;}

That should give you something that looks like this:

Of course, “blue” and “white” are interchangeable with any other color or hex code. ??

Cheers

Thanks Nate – but it doesn’t make any difference when I put that code in custom.css. I’m stumped. The site is https://www.friendlyfaces.co.uk.

Hey again, Trevor!

It looks like there’s some other CSS in that site that’s causing the background color for that button to turn white:

body #wrapper #content .button, body #wrapper #content .button:visited, body #wrapper #content .reply a, body #wrapper #content #respond .form-submit input#submit {
background: white;}

While I can’t say for sure the best way to eliminate that conflict, when I disable that CSS, everything looks good!
