 * I am trying to add CSS ids to my style sheet and it is not working properly. 
   Some of the elements work, but not the others.
    When I check with the inspection
   tool, it takes me to MailChimp style sheet, which I do not even see in Editor.
   Need to update the elements in my stylesheet.

 * Hey there, Dsaro!
 * What specifically seems to be giving you problems? Any changes to the styles 
   should be made in your “Style.css” file under “Appearance” -> “Editor” -> “Style.
   css” for your theme. Using the built-in inspection tool for Chrome or “Firebug”
   for Firefox, you can isolate exactly what elements need to be added and edited
   in that CSS file.
 * For example, to edit the “Submit” button, right click on it with Chrome and then
   use “Inspect Element”:

 * You’d then need to add `input#mc_signup_submit.button` to your stylesheet.
 * Let us know if you’re having some specific issues and we’ll be happy to help!
 * Cheers

 * I think what dsaro is referring to is the mailchimp css that is auto-included
   when the signup form. The one that shows up when I open up Chrome developer tools
   or Firebug is [http://www.example.com/?mcsf_action=main_css&ver=3.3.2](http://www.example.com/?mcsf_action=main_css&ver=3.3.2)
 * So for example, if I was trying to change `.mc_signup_submit` to have the property
   of `text-align: left` in style.css, the mailchimp CSS would overwrite that rule
   with its default `text-align: center`

 * Hey there!
 * Generally we would recommend disabling the “Custom Styling” option within the
   settings for the plugin (“MailChimp Setup”). That should pull any styling for
   the Style.css file rather than the included CSS:

 * Hi mc_nate.
 * I’ve turned the custom CSS styling off, so the widget keeps most of the style
   for the other widgets (title etc).
 * However, I want to do two things:
    1) turn off the “* = required field” line 
   2) turn off the “Preferred Format” list of radio buttons.
 * I just want the email and name fields, and the subscribe button.
 * The obvious way to do this is “display: none;” in css, but it’s not working when
   I put it into the theme style.css. Where should it go?
 * I’ve put
    #mc-indicates-required { display: none; }
 * into the theme’s style.css, but it’s not appearing at the frontend (being over-
   ridden?)
 * Thanks
    Tim

 * Hey there, Tim!
 * Would you mind sending a link to your site so I can have a closer look?
 * As far as the “Preferred Format” option, I do have a nifty little hack-around
   that should let you disable that option within the plugin. Check out this post:

 * I’ll be happy to take a closer look at the site, too!

 * Hi,
 * I am having problems disabling the “Custom Styling” within the plugin. I untick
   the checkbox and use my styling with wordpress’ “style.css” but for some reason
   the MailChimp css is still be displayed. Can anyone help at all on this?
 * Cheers,
    Darren

 * Cheers
