MailPoet email address collection form WordPress

  • SOLVED

I have an email address collection form that came designed in a widget at the very, very bottom of this site: http://ellencelli.com/

The code in this widget looks like this:
<div class="col-sm-10 col-lg-offset-2 col-md-offset-2 ">
<div class="newsletter-content">
<div class="img pull-left">
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/newsletter_ring_135px.png">
</div>
<div class="box form-newsletter pull-right">
<div class="box-left pull-left">
<div class="box-heading no-margin">
<strong>become a subscriber</strong>
</div>
<p class="description">& learn about our special offers</p>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="inputNew" placeholder="Your email ..." value="" size="18" name="email">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button type="submit" name="submitNewsletter" class="btn btn-custom">Subscribe<span class="fa-fw fa fa-long-arrow-right"></span></button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>



My Mailing List plugin is MailPoet. I have a list started and this handy plugin supplies a couple versions of code (HTML and PHP, etc) that you can insert in your widget to collect addresses.

The problem is that I would like to use the design that came with my theme, but I'm not sure how to make the code work with my MailPoet list?

Here's the HTML code MailPoet supplies:

<input type="hidden" name="wysija[user_list][list_ids]" value="1" />

</form></div>

I have a child theme setup so if I need to add CSS or something I can do that easily. I just don't know what to write!

Thanks!

Liz comments:

Wow! This is almost perfect. The button and email address box are a little misaligned. You can see it here:

Do you mind revising?

Thanks,
Liz

Hi Liz,

Add following CSS in your style sheet.

.wysija-submit{
margin: 0!important;
}


Let me know if you have trouble.

Liz comments:

Thank you for your effort! The alignment was a bit off on the email address and button (the button was listed beneath the blank). I am planning to use the other person's code.
