 * Hello,
 * I’m custom styling the shortcode and have nearly got it where I want it. There’s
   just one tiny thing I can’t figure out, which is how to remove the word “Email”
   from the white box.
 * Here’s a link to the site. The signup near the bottom of the page: [http://stage.sverdlawfirm.com/testing-page/](http://stage.sverdlawfirm.com/testing-page/)
 * Many thanks for your help.

 * Hi pennywhistle!! You can either edit the plugin to remove the placeholder, or
   add the following CSS to your site:
 *  .constantcontactwidget_form input::-webkit-input-placeholder {
    color: transparent;}.
   constantcontactwidget_form input:-moz-placeholder { color: transparent; } .constantcontactwidget_form
   input::-moz-placeholder { color: transparent; } .constantcontactwidget_form input:-
   ms-input-placeholder { color: transparent; }

 * Thank you for the swift reply. That worked! Just one thing, though. I have a 
   feeling that the styling of this form is interfering with the search box on this
   page [http://stage.sverdlawfirm.com/sample-page/](http://stage.sverdlawfirm.com/sample-page/),
   knocking the magnifying glass to the next line. (This is what that search box
   is supposed to look like: [http://themeforest.net/item/the-practice-lawyer-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/7631488](http://themeforest.net/item/the-practice-lawyer-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/7631488).)
 * I tried fixing it by prefacing all the CSS related to this plugin with .constantcontactwidget_form,
   but it didn’t work. Here’s the CSS:
 *     ```
       .constantcontactwidget_form {
       padding: 20px;
       background: #ebebeb;
       }
   
       .constantcontactwidget_form .input[type="reset"], input[type="submit"], input[type="button"], button {
           border: none;
           color: #FFFFFF;
           margin-left: 10px;
           padding: 0;
           height: 32px;
           width: 80px;
           line-height: 32px;
           text-align: left;
           font-family: 'Lato', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
           font-size: 13px;
           text-align: center;
           background: url(http://stage.sverdlawfirm.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/btn_arrow_blue2.png) right 0 no-repeat;
           background-image: url(http://stage.sverdlawfirm.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/btn_arrow_blue2.png);
           background-position-x: 100%;
           background-position-y: 0px;
           background-size: initial;
           background-repeat-x: no-repeat;
           background-repeat-y: no-repeat;
           background-attachment: initial;
           background-origin: initial;
           background-clip: initial;
           background-color: initial;
       }
   
       .constantcontactwidget_form input[type="text"], input[type="password"], input[type="email"], select {
           height: 30px;
           line-height: 20px;
           width: 180px;
           height: 22px;
           margin: 0px;
       }
   
       .constantcontactwidget_form .entry p, .summary p {
           margin: 0px;
       }
   
       .constantcontactwidget_form input::-webkit-input-placeholder {
       color: transparent;
       }
       .constantcontactwidget_form input:-moz-placeholder {
       color: transparent;
       }
       .constantcontactwidget_form input::-moz-placeholder {
       color: transparent;
       }
       .constantcontactwidget_form input:-ms-input-placeholder {
       color: transparent;
       }
       ```

 * Hi pennywhistle! You need to add .constantcontactwidget_form in front of every
   rule, i.e. instead of:
 * .constantcontactwidget_form input[type=”text”], input[type=”password”] …
 * it should be
 * .constantcontactwidget_form input[type=”text”], .constantcontactwidget_form input[
   type=”password”]

 * Yes! Many thanks! So one last small thing: The space below “Enter Your Email 
   Address” should be 0 px. I thought I could set this, based on the Chrome developer
   tool, to this:
 *     ```
       .constantcontactwidget_form .constantcontactwidget_form entry p, .constantcontactwidget_form .constantcontactwidget_form summary p  {
           margin: 0px;
       }
       ```
   
 * But that didn’t work.
