    Hi,

    Sooo glad i found your plugin – shaping up nicely and easy to install initially – thanks!

    I’m trying to make some style changes but can’t find the correct selectors – could you help?

    1. I’d like to decrease the space between the input box and the next field label below it – i’ve checked with Firebug but just can’t find where this margin/spacing is from (I’m using a child theme of 2012).

    2. I’d like to change the background colour of the ‘Sign up’ button. I’ve tried this:

    form.mc4wp-form input[type=submit] {
		color: #000000;
		background color: #cecece;
		}

    which changes the text colour but has no effect on the background.

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi 5high,

    Do you have a live example I can take a look at? Some things depends on your form mark-up.

    Anyway. If you wrap your input and label tags with a paragraph element, you probably need to decrease the margin of those p elements.

    form.mc4wp-form p{ margin:10px 0; }

    Also, check the bottom-margin of your input fields and the top-margin of your label field.

    form.mc4wp-form label { margin-top:0px; }
form.mc4wp-form input[type=text] { margin-bottom:0px; }

    Also, the correct syntax to change the background of the submit button is background-color (note the dash).

    Good luck!

    Hi Danny,

    Thanks for getting back to me. Of course, the <p> tags! – totally forgot those! So all sorted by just removing them in the MailChimp for WP > Form Settings > Form Markup! Easy! Thanks re the syntax for the background-color – I had in fact also tried it in its correct format, but with no effect.

    However, I have managed to change the background colour for the form, and label colours etc, but still can’t manage the background colour of the Sign-up Button. I’ve currently got:

    form.mc4wp-form input[type=submit] {
		color: #000000! important;
		background-color: #333333! important;
		}

    which doesn’t work – or does it have to be ‘form.mc4wp-form input .submit’ as the selector??

    If it would help to see it up and running, I’m temporarily working on it here (as a testing site): https://trevorpenfold.com/testing/

    Thanks again…
