    Hi there,

    Need help here.

    I might need to set the placeholder text of mailchimp form in the footer to WHITE.

    Currently the footer background is black while the text is in deep grey, it is hard for the user to enter in the input field.

    Please advice.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hello,

    Add the below code to the functions.php file of the child theme to change it – 

    form#mc4wp-form-1 input[type="email"]::placeholder {
    color: #fff;
}

    Thanks Amit,

    You’re always in great help. ??

    I manage to put the code in the custom CSS :

    #footer-widgets #mc4wp-form-1 input[type=”email”]::placeholder {
    color: #fff;
    }

    It works. The placeholder text now is visible.

    But now, I face another problem. When I start typing in the field, the text color is inter-changing between red and dark grey. And, it again became invisible once I finished entering my email.

    Just in case you need to test it out, here → bingkai.com.au
    The mailchimp subscription form in the footer.

    Thanks again.

    Cheers,

    Use the below code also to fix it – 

    form#mc4wp-form-1 input[type="email"] {
    color: #fff;
}

    Thanks Amit !

    It works perfectly. ??

    You’re welcome!

    Mine is doing this I just noticed. I tried using the css code from above but when I type an email address, the text color turns red and I never set it to red anywhere. I need it to be white. My site is axmx.net and the form is in the footer. In addition, my footer menu links disappear on hover even though the color is set to white. I’m noticing A LOT of color issues with this theme, why is this?

    @gratschultz2013 is your issue fixed? I’m seeing your other topic marked as resolved about the same query.
