Oh! For me, it appears to be the “Shortcodes Ultimate” plugin that adds the garbage in my wpsc forms.

I’ve noticed that recently, too.

(The <br> First Name, etc.)

It’s not his theme that is breaking it – unless Twenty Eleven does the same thing. It’s consistant across themes I’ve activated.

Hmm… same here. I was hoping to see a resolution to your question. Drat.

Hi there,

MC_Nate – thank you for the HUGE tip. I just want to add, once someone changes the order on the MailChimp hosted signup form, they need to log back into their site, go to MailChimp settings and click “Update List”, then “Update Subscribe Form Settings” to have order updated in their MailChimp Widget.

I just did all that for a client and thought I’d post here to help others.

Take care,

Jeeni

I agree with MC_Jesse – I’d sooner update the theme CSS than any code within the widget. Using Firefox and the plugin Firebug, I found the (very long) attributes for the submit button – copied them and pasted them into my theme’s CSS & changed the text color/size and background image for the submit button. (as seen bellow)

#mc_signup_form a.long_button,
#mc_signup_form a.long_button:hover,
#mc_signup_form input[type="submit"],
#mc_signup_form input[type="submit"]:hover,
#mc_signup_form input[type="button"],
#mc_signup_form input[type="button"]:hover {
	color:#000;
	font-size:12px;
    background: url("../path-to-your-theme/new-button.png") no-repeat scroll center center transparent;
}

#mc_signup_form a.long_button:hover,
#mc_signup_form input[type="submit"]:hover,
#mc_signup_form input[type="button"]:hover {
	color:#2d3456;
}

Hi there!

If you have access to your theme css, simply add the following code which will override the red text:

.updated .mc_error_msg {
color:#6f2ce9;
}

The #6f2ce9 is just an arbitrary color I picked – it’s purple – feel free to change it to whatever color you wish.

Good luck!

Ok, now I feel quite dumb. I had been typing in the visual editor. Jeez.

It still works.

Update – I had to make the links <a href on my client’s contact page that I shared above. I can’t leave them broken.
