Subscribe Dark Mode Colors and Guests Without Email Notifications

    First off, awesome plugin! The best I’ve come across yet. Glowing review soon to follow…

    Question #1: When using Dark mode, the field backgrounds in the Subscribe form are set to white, and the placeholder text in the email field is also set to white, causing the email placeholder text to be invisible.

    What custom CSS can I use to change the email placeholder text color in the Subscribe form?

    Question #2: I have the form set to allow Guest comments and NOT require an email for those Guests. However, this then creates a problem with email notifications. Every email notification (such as Subscribe and comment-approved notifications, etc.) for Guests without emails are then sent to the email “[email protected]” and, of course, those emails bounce.

    Is there a way turn off all email notifications for Guests who do not provide an email address?

    (my goal here is simply to avoid as many bounced emails as possible to keep SMTP value high. Requiring an email address from Guests would likely cause them only to submit false emails, which would then also cause bounced emails)

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi @cjrune,

    Question #1: When using Dark mode, the field backgrounds in the Subscribe form are set to white, and the placeholder text in the email field is also set to white, causing the email placeholder text to be invisible.

    To change the placeholder text color, please navigate to the Dashboard > Comments > wpDiscuz > Settings > Styles and Colors admin page put the following CSS code in the “Custom CSS Code” textarea:

    #wpdcom .wpdiscuz-subscribe-form-email input[type="email"]::placeholder{
color: #000000 !important;
}

    Don’t forget to delete all caches and press CTRL+F5(twice) on the frontend before checking.

    Question #2: I have the form set to allow Guest comments and NOT require an email for those Guests. However, this then creates a problem with email notifications. Every email notification (such as Subscribe and comment-approved notifications, etc.) for Guests without emails are then sent to the email “[email protected]” and, of course, those emails bounce

    This is strange, there should not be such an issue. We check if the email content the example.com and etc and we don’t include such emails in the subscribe email lists.
    In any case please register and open a new support topic in the wpDiscuz.com support forum for deeper support.

    Awesome! Thank you so much. I never would have figured out the CSS code for the Subscribe > Email placeholder text on my own.

    As for the bounced email problem, I’ll wait and see if they become excessive. I’ve added Social Login so, hopefully, many will use it instead of Guest user. If it becomes a big problem, I’ll definitely post a new topic in the wpDiscuz.com support forum.

    Thanks again!
