Change button/margin on site – please help!
-
Updating the “local business” theme and I want to either change or remove the orange button on the homepage – it was created as 2 images by the template designer and it seperates in IE.
It’s showing as a signup.form?
Also I need to move the contact us form plug in so it has a left-margin of 40px on the contact page.
Please assist!

Before making any changes to any theme files, you’ll need to create a child theme or use a custom CSS plug-in.
Then, you can get rid of the button on the home page by adding this CSS code to the new style.css file:
.home .signup-text .button1 { display: none; } #cntctfrm_contact_form { margin-left: 40px; }Thank you, the duplicate post was my mistake being new. I saw the correct section after posting the first.
The contact form option worked once I added a custom css plug in.
The button option doesn’t work because the original designer called the entire homepage spotlight feature section signup.form including the button.
Is there a way to remove image and just have a hyperlink in it’s place saying services?
Thanks
Did you try the other — that CSS should still remove that button only — and it worked fine in Firebug.
But you could also remove the background image which comes from two places:
.signup-text .button1 span { background: url("images/btn-left.png") no-repeat scroll left 0 transparent; } .signup-text .button1 { background: url("images/btn-right.png") no-repeat scroll right 0 transparent; }So you could remove that CSS and see if that does what you want.
Here’s the css for the entire section – there are quite a few spots that have an image for the button. In this theme you are not supposed to update the css in the main file, but in the theme options section. I have tried adding other images, deleting the image lines, and setting background to none – I had it off before with horrible black text, but I don’t remember what I did and now nothing seems to work!

I’ll work from here. Thanks again!
For future, you don’t need to post CSS code here — it’s all visible on the site. And you do need to use the backticks or code button when posting any code.
Glad it’s working or getting there :).
