# Customize the [jetpack_subscription_form] shortcode?

 * The following shortcode…
 * `[jetpack_subscription_form]`
 * is great for dropping a subscription form into a page, but it displays the default
   text, “Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications
   of new posts by email.”
 * Is there any way to personalize that? I’m aware it can be done with widgets in
   a sidebar. Just wondering if it could be done with the shortcode.
 * Thanks.

 * The shortcode only offers one option at the moment: you can remove the line mentioning
   the number of subscribers on your site like so:
 * `[jetpack_subscription_form show_subscribers_total="false"]`
 * I took note of your feedback though, and we’ll consider adding more customization
   options in a future Jetpack update.

 * Thanks. I wanted to drop into a sidebar that wasn’t widgetized — I wanted more
   hands on control over how the sidebar looked. And ended up creating a widgetized
   sidebar just for the subscription code, and then dropped that into the non-widgetized
   sidebar.
 * Sounds like a lot of messing around, but it did the trick. And I could then customize
   it.

 * Hey guys, I would love to be able to customize this form and place it in every
   single post. I know how to place it, but I don’t know how to customize it, even
   if what I want to do it may be quite easy.
 * Can you help me to just place a background image and add the [email] field in
   the middle of that image? Is all I need to make a superb call to action email
   suscription. Is it possible??
 * Thanks in advance!

 * [@dalavert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dalavert/) You can customize 
   the form by making changes to your theme stylesheet, or by adding custom CSS 
   code to your custom CSS editor under Appearance > Edit CSS in your dashboard.
 * The Subscription form is wrapped in a `.jetpack_subscription_widget` container,
   so you can use this CSS class to target the form.
