 * Hi,
 * I am trying to change the color of the MailChimp sign-up box in my footer to 
   black and an input box to white using the following code, however something seems
   to be always overriding it.
 * Can anyone see what the issue is please. Thanks!
 * This is the code I am trying to enter:
 *     ```
       input.input-text {
           background-color: #ffffff;
       }
   
       div.footer-subscribe {
           background-color: #000000;
       }
       ```

 * You didn’t say what site to look at.

 * It sounds like your code is being ignored.
 * Try adding the important tag as I did below:
 *     ```
       input.input-text {
           background-color: #ffffff !important;
       }
   
       div.footer-subscribe {
           background-color: #000000 !important;
       }
       ```

 * Where are you trying to enter this CSS code?
