Email Form layout

Hi there,

due the the feedback I got from thread https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/email-form-doesnt-work-anymore/45110 I tried Mailchimp form builder directly. The Convertion Plus Plugin was not suitable.
However, the mailchimp embedded form, there are some layout issues since the form adapts to the website CSS.

If you check out the form here: http://libertango-baden.org/ In the footer area, you see the following form and areas I need to fix:

  1. the checkbox text is on a new line. It needs to be on the same line as the checkbox
  2. The textfields are very short in length. How can I change the length?
  3. The gap between the form fields is way too big. How can I put it closer together?
  4. The info message after submission is in the same text color as the other text. I want it to be in red or green. How can I change that?

Since the Email Forms plugin has a bug, I cannot work with that. It would have been way easier :frowning:
I would greatly appreciate your support in this.

All the best,
Franziska

Hi There,

Please try adding this custom CSS under Theme Options > CSS:

.mc-field-group br {
    display: none;
}
.mc-field-group input[type="text"],
.mc-field-group input[type="email"] {
    width: 100%;
    margin: 10px 0;
}

.mc-field-group.input-group li {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
}

.mc-field-group.input-group li input {
    margin: 0;
}
.mc-field-group.input-group li label {
    margin-left: 5px;
}

div#mce-success-response {
    color: #7dd87d;
}

div#mce-error-response {
    color: #fb0000;
}

Sometimes it can get a bit difficult to find out the right selector to be able to write the required CSS codes. A handy tool that can help you in this is Google Chrome dev tools. I am sharing the resource that you can refer to get started with dev tools.
