• The text in the MailChimp subscribe form I put in the footer on my site is obscured — as if it’s layered underneath the boxes. Is this a Customizr issue? I’d rather keep my footer a color. Is there a way to fix it?

  • Where is it supposed to be and how are you adding it? I can see a “Follow” tab at the bottom of your page, which I click and it pops up. Is that it?

    It’s a new site. My link didn’t come through. I hit “link” before and after the url, right?:

    In case it didn’t come through again:

    Looks like you have white text on a white background. Sorry, I’m not at my desk so I can’t check the exact CSS needed. You can check easily with Firebug or developer tools.

    It’s the canned embed version from MailChimp.
    I placed the exact same code in both the widget sidebar and the footer on this page
    Thanks!

    Went in the code from MailChimp to see what the font color is. I can’t see where it directs the color for the font, just the clear background?

    `<!– Begin MailChimp Signup Form –>
    <link href=”//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/classic-081711.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>
    <style type=”text/css”>
    #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }
    /* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
    We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */
    </style>’

    Put:

    #mc_embed_signup {
        background-color: #5a5a5a !important;
    }

    in your Custom CSS. Watch also this video.

    Presto changeo!

    Yes, I’m getting close to making the decision of either climbing the learning curve or paying someone else to do the sites.

    Whatever you decide, make sure you upgrade to 3.1.24 of Customizr first. The version you have is the slow/broken one.
