    How can I change the text that shows in the search bar? It currently says “SEARCH” in the bar itself and I would like to make it lowercase or get rid of it. I also have only caps showing in a box of my MailChimp form, so I’m hoping the solution would fix that as well.

    Also, this may be the wrong place to ask this, but I couldn’t find help in MailChimp options. The submit box for the form is faded out and only turns opaque when I hover over it. I changed the color to black, but it still has this transparency. Is it something with the theme?

    Thank you for your time.

  • Hi there!
    You will need to add some custom CSS to achieve this.
    Install and activate this plugin then go to “Add Custom CSS” on your dashboard and paste this

    
    ::-webkit-input-placeholder { text-transform:none }
    ::-moz-placeholder { text-transform:none } /* firefox 19+ */
    :-ms-input-placeholder {text-transform:none } /* ie */
    input:-moz-placeholder { text-transform:none }
    

    in the box.

    Have you replaced the default form with the Mailchimp form provided? Can you provide a URL so I can have a closer look?

    Thank you, I now have lowercase showing in the boxes on mobile only.
    Side questions… I just added your provided custom CSS as well as one from a resolved forum topic:

    .entry-featured {
    display: none;
    }

    to hide feature images from posts and only have them be pulled for social media.
    Both of these changes show on mobile, but nothing seems to have changed when I look on my desktop version. Do I need to just give it more time? I cleared cookies and cache in explorer and it didn’t help.

    AND I thought I read before that “Pin it” buttons show automatically on images but mine has not. I have my pinterest URL entered and the social icon is linking properly. I just don’t want an extra plug in if it’s not needed.

    I have replaced default with MailChimp. link

    Thanks again for everything. Sorry for all the questions!

    Hi there, have you added this

    .entry-featured{
     display:none;   
    }

    because I cannot find that particular code in your site. Could you flush your cache(WordPress cache-check for any plugins) and try again?

    You need to install a third party plugin for the pin buttons! So please have a look here this

    You can paste this for your Mailchimp button

    .mc4wp-form-theme-dark button,
    .mc4wp-form-theme-dark input[type=submit] {
        background: #000!important;
    }

    inside your custom css box

    I have w3 total cache and I emptied all cache through that plugin. Is that what you mean?
    And yes, I entered in the custom css box. I just deleted it and pasted it again (the extent of my vast capabilities) but nothing changed.

    No change with darkening mailchimp button in either mobile or desktop. Is there something wrong with the custom css box?

    Wait, the button is dark on mobile side now.

    Hi there, make sure the plugin you are using to add your css does not have a trigger to apply changes only on mobile devices

    I looked in settings and don’t see anything I could change. There is just the text box to enter the code. I cut out both of the codes and moved them to the top of the box ahead of previously entered codes and now it all shows correctly in both mobile and desktop. I have no idea what happened, but I’m glad it’s fixed.

    Thank you again for your time. You guys are great!

    Glad I could help!
    Probably you have missing closing bracket in the end of your custom css.
    I’d like to ask you, if you like the theme and could take a minute to review it here it would help us a lot!

    I have already reviewed the theme last month, after being so impressed with your help on another issue. I owe you guys!

    Thanks again!

    Hi there,
    Thank you!! We really appreciate this!
