works great, easy, simple. ajax is great, nice validation

This plugin works great as an ajax mailchimp form. I’ve had no issues with the functionality of it at all. Boom, it just works. I’ve tried the official MC one and various others. This is the best lite version. The validation is great and well done.

But I did have issues trying to override the CSS styles that are default. This isn’t a big deal if you know html/css and can hunt them down by inspecting the page. But for novices, this would be painful. Possibly a bag of hurt.

I would recommend that the developer possibly provide a list of the css classes which add the background colors, padding, border shadows etc so that people could easily override them. Maybe make a generic form theme option which removes them all, but then enable a field which has the classes and their parameters. Or include a css file that zeros them all out that someone could just fill in and paste in your override area.

For instance, I overwrote these styles after choosing the BLUE theme in the plugin settings.

.sky-form {box-shadow: none !important;}
div.chimpy_lite_status_underlay {
    background-color: none !important;
}
.sky-form footer {
  background: none !important;
  border-top: none !important;
}
.sky-form fieldset {background: transparent !important;}
div.chimpy_lite_status_underlay {background: transparent !important;}

But it would have been super cool if I didn’t have to hunt and peck those styles out.
THAT SAID, I am not a begger or a chooser. THIS PLUGIN ROCKS and was extremely helpful to me and will surely help you get the job done regarding ajax MC integration.

Therefore, 5 stars easily. Thank you RightPress.
