Miscellaneous Questions

[[email protected]]

Hi,

I’ve read through the documentation and skimmed over the forum, but I cannot seem to find the answers to these questions:

1. How can I add a favicon?

2. How can I fix my newsletter signup bar? I’m using MailChimp, so I copied the code for embedding a form and pasted it in the options location. It seems like whatever form I put in there (even the “super slim” one) is too tall for that area.

3. In the footer, do you know what’s causing that tiny envelope to pop up? I think it’s related to the newsletter sign up.

4. Am I able to change the background color of the newsletter sign up bar? If so, how?

Thank you in advance for your help – I really appreciate it!

Hi there

1) Go to Theme Options > General

2) Fixed this for you

3) Yes it is, add this to your custom css:

#mc_embed_signup input.email {
  width: 100%;
}

4) Yes, go to the Color Customiser > Newsletter Bar

Did you set your old favicon through the theme options or a different method?

Can you delete the old icon from your media library to see if that helps?

Still no succes…. 🙁

Did you have a website previously on the same domain?

No, we only had a older theme..

Kyle,

1. I should’ve seen that – sorry!

2. This is awesome, thanks!

3. I tried pasting in the code snippet you gave me to get rid of the tiny envelope:

#mc_embed_signup input.email {
width: 100%;
}

But nothing changed. Please see attached screenshot. Do you have an alternate suggestion?

4. Great, thank you!

1, 2 & 4) Great! No problem

3) It was supposed to make the field 100% width so that the icon was within the field, did that work? Also you need to delete the second closing brace as it’s not needed

Got it! I just had to use “!important”. Thanks for your help!

I tried the above solution to the mini-envelope issue, and now my field is longer, but the envelope is for some reason hovering above the field. Is there some way to get it into the field? And is there some way to un-bold the text above the field? See photo and the code I inserted in Appearance >> Widgets >> Footer Column 4:

<!– Begin MailChimp Signup Form –>
<link href=”//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/slim-081711.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>
<style type=”text/css”>
#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:13px Sorts Mill Goudy 400 }
#mc_embed_signup input.email {width: 100%; }
/* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */
</style>
<div id=”mc_embed_signup”>
<form action=”=linkurl” method=”post” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” name=”mc-embedded-subscribe-form” class=”validate” target=”_blank” novalidate>
<div id=”mc_embed_signup_scroll”>
<label for=”mce-EMAIL”>Sign up for our newsletter:</label>
<input type=”email” value=”” name=”EMAIL” class=”email” id=”mce-EMAIL” placeholder=”Enter your email address here” required>
<!– real people should not fill this in and expect good things – do not remove this or risk form bot signups–>
<div style=”position: absolute; left: -5000px;”><input type=”text” name=”b_f45fbed265497973c4d35d303_bd0425537d” tabindex=”-1″ value=””></div>
<div class=”clear”><input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe” name=”subscribe” id=”mc-embedded-subscribe” class=”button”></div>
</div>
</form>
</div>

<!–End mc_embed_signup–>

Hi @stoukan

Can you provide a link to your site?

So you need to change the text above the field to normal instead of bold, and what is the exact issue with the envelope?
