Sorry, the Theme running is called “Hever”… it came with the site, never changed it.

No, It’s not resolved… I haven’t been able to login due to the confusion with WordPress.com, www.ads-software.com and login issues since I joined. Yet more garbage to put up with.

The issue is found to be whenever in MailPoet one uses the “local highlight text” option for 5.9 (?) since moving it from separate menu choices, it introduces a bug to MailPoet. Whatever the HIGHLIGHT option chosen previously must be cleared and the text or highlight option used from the MailPoet text in the widgets in the sidebar. It works no other way.

While I’ve found the problem, figured out how to AVOID the problem, the problem persists. Either WP or MP or both need to recode around this issue.

As with many WordPress plugins… there’s too many cooks in this kitchen and not enough standard conventions by which the cooks operate. For future reference, if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.

Same problem, it’s been this way for weeks on end.

For selected text (block editor) isn’t working correctly. I’m not certain is block is Guttenberg; one in the same? Ever since text color and highlight background were combined on one menu option… (5.9 from what I’ve read above)

Selecting one section of text to highlight and using the hex decimal entry for a specific color (consistent branding) doesn’t accept input. It defaults to #ffffff or something on that order no matter what you type in. Dragging the color locator through the color field works, selecting standard theme colors works, but you can’t use specific hex# colors chosen for your brand. Hex# input is bugged.

Side widget text color for the entire block works fine, but NOT the local text HIGHLIGHT options.

Also, for MailPoet a WooCommerce add-on, the FORMS tool (pop-ups, bars, widgets, etc) introduces a different problem with the same feature, selected text HIGHLIGHT feature to change text COLOR introduces a bug that inserts a background color to the text. Tested on Theme 2021, 2022, and 2017… background color changes, but bug is consistent.

Text color works correctly if using the MailPoet side widget tools for text color, but any use of the local HIGHLIGHT tool for text color bugs the text introducing a background color despite clearing the text highlight. Clearing the text and background colors at the local HIGHLIGHT tool is the only thing that clears this error.

After about a week of searching, I’ve located this error. It is now working correctly, but the HIGHLIGHT local text tool is the cause of the problem.

Twenty Twenty-one mod:
There is a plug-in called “Options for Twenty Twenty-One” which I thought was offered by the originators of the Theme, but I guess not. It does make it easy to change common items and make edits to the theme.

The “Health Check & Troubleshooting” by The www.ads-software.com Community… is this the plug in you are suggesting I install and run? Description states: “Untested with my version of WordPress” AND “Last Updated: 7 months ago”… Fine with me if this the tool you are recommending for the purpose.

MailPoet Form Display…
I’ve tried several manifestations… the pop-up works the best, but it has the bright yellow background applied that I can’t seem to get rid of. I’ve tried the fixed banner across the page… it doesn’t always show. Not certain what to do about any of that. I looked for a STATIC PAGE option to route sign-ups to the MailPoet Lists… but I don’t see that option, or can’t find it. SHORTCODE to paste into a page?

Interesting hint on the Inspect Element option. Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I’ll see what I can learn.

I’ll look forward to hearing confirmation or link on the “Health” plugin.

The theme I’m using is “Twenty Twenty-one”… one of the standard themes, no?

I haven’t added CSS code to MailPoet’s CSS anywhere. I wouldn’t know how to use the CSS to edit it if I wanted to. I use these “packages”, several of which I’m paying for, so I don’t need to learn to code… and I end up “needing to code”.

I looked for an option “inherit style from theme” or some such, remembering seeing something like that somewhere in the multitude of option boxes on the back end of my site. I don’t see anywhere where I would accept such in the MailPoet settings.

Links to the page where the form can be seen… considering I had mail outgoing while all my signup forms were unreadable and looked like crap, I took them down; hence the frustration with waiting 5 days for assistance. I finally got ONE form to work properly (by an Act of God), and haven’t touched it while driving traffic and gaining sign-ups the last several days.

The ONE that works can be seen here (I think… I can’t see it anymore).

Paid Customer: the offer is “FREE until you have 1000 on the list”, no? In ANY event, 5 days to respond, paid or not, forum post or smoke signals across the canyon… 5 days is not impressive.

Don’t take that personally, I’m sure you’re a “bru-tiful” person and as nice as the day is long…

Thanks for the hints… How would I go about checking CSS code?

I’ve added a fixed bar… went back to the original font for the template (which I don’t like)… same yellow highlighter background to the text.
CLEARING the background color (highlight) takes the background to brilliant yellow.

Six hours, no responses.

Not impressed.

“Put that review code into your current theme’s header.php file after <head> tag located at wp-content/themes/shapely/ folder.” saurabh.dhariwal

You’ve given us a hint, but you assume that those of us who don’t manage a website all the time know where to find that and how to get to it. That answer is about as helpful as telling a treasure hunter seeking a map, ‘dig at the big X’…

How do I get there, where do I access it, is there an option off ‘Customize’ for the theme like there really OUGHT to be? (or seems like it ought to be, and by the way WordPress community and programmers, why is there no access to it there if its associated with each specific theme?) Is it associated with the theme? <shrug>

…Or do I have to log into my provider, dig through the directory and files that are posted to my domain ‘by hand’, and find said ‘header.php’ file? How do I get there?
