Styling

  • I really love using mailchimp – excellent site. However this hidden css thing is driving me CRAZY. I’m desiging the site for a friend, and she wants changes which aren’t possible without knowing/guessing the coding. Such as changing the colour of the input boxes, adding fields, changing padding, changing height of the input fields. Maybe you should rethink this a little in the update?

  • Hey lizzythepink,

    Thanks for the feedback. We certainly appreciate you letting us know your thoughts on the plugin. In the meantime, are there any particular issues you’d like help with regarding CSS formatting in the site?

    I’d really like some help on this one Gabe. As you can see in the footer of my site (which is about to launch) https://mariemiller.lizzy-may.co.uk/

    The widget looks really clunky and bold. I’d like to make the text boxes smaller, and grey. Is that possible? Where would I code it?

    Thanks, Liz

    Hi Lizzythepink,

    When I visit your site, I’m not seeing the form on the page. Was it taken down recently. If you can add it back to your site, we would be happy to take a look.

    Also just to give some background, the plugin has some styling in it. But it’s really designed to take the styling of the css code on your website. It’s best to make sure you have proper styling on the input and other form elements on your site and the plugin should inherit those.

    Here’s some great resources on styling the forms with CSS: https://www.sitepoint.com/style-web-forms-css/

    You can edit the css of your theme right in the admin area of WordPress. To do that, click Appearance on the left navigation > Editor. Select your WordPress theme from the upper right and look for the style.css file. You can add any modifications to the bottom of that file.
