# Problem with CSS, please help!

 * Hi!
    I have a problem with a part of my website and spent many hours already 
   figuring out what the right CSS code is. Please help me! The link to the exact
   webpage is: [http://globalsummerschool.org/reminder/](http://globalsummerschool.org/reminder/)
   Can you see the little checkbox on the upper left side of my sign up form? It
   is automatically clicked when I choose the checkbox of guess reminder. I really
   don’t know what this is for and mailchimp only helps me when I buy their premium
   support. So I tried it myself to delete it with this: .mc4wp-form label>span:
   before, .mc4wp-form label>span:before { display: none !important; } .mc4wp-form
   label>span:after, .mc4wp-form label>span:after { display: none !important; } 
   When I put “display: none” using the Chrome Dev Tool, it works. When I add it
   to the editor, nothing happens, the checkbox is still there.
 * Can anybody help me please?
 * Thanks!

 * It’s supposed to be a style that replaces the look of the standard checkbox. 
   To remove it, add this custom css using a css plugin:
 *     ```
       input[type="radio"] + span:before, 
       input[type="checkbox"] + span:before,
       input[type="radio"] + span:after, 
       input[type="checkbox"] + span:after {
           display: none;
       }
       ```

 * Wow! That was it! Thanks!:-)))
    One last question so that I better understand:
   I pasted your code in the theme editor and it didn’t work. Then I downloaded 
   a CSS plugin and put the code there and it worked. How come?

 * Hi all,
    I think my problem is similar. My contact form is [http://www.newhorizon.ac.nz/enrol/](http://www.newhorizon.ac.nz/enrol/)(
   although you have to scroll down to see) Am using it as an application form. 
   Two separate issues (both which I can’t work out an answer to despite having 
   read everything I can)
 * Issue 1: I receive a message that have 2 unresolved errors. BUT I have no idea
   what they are. They’re not highlighted so I don’t want to risk making changes
   solely because I have a message that somewhere I have some errors.
 * Issue 2: My checkboxes don’t retain the check in them even though I’ve ticked
   exclusive (from after the question ‘Would you stay with a student from another
   country?’ These could possibly be the two errors, but I think I’ve looked at 
   the source card hard enough and it seems fine, but I would absolutely appreciate
   any help, I’ve exhausted my options and my brain!
 * Code:
    <h5> 1: Personal Details </h5> <p>Family Name<br /> [text* your-name] 
   </p> <p>First Name(s)<br /> [text* your-name] </p> <p>Date of Birth<br /> [date
