Using MailChimp Widget with Station Pro

[jlortz 0]

I just posted an earlier question, but here's another unrelated one. I'm attempting to use the WP MailChimp widget to add a subscriber form to one of the sidebars. Everything looks great but there's no submit button showing up, even after messing with the MailChimp option to turn Javascript submission off and on. I messed a bit with the mailchimp.php file and the button appearance, but I'm still not getting a button. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Please provide a link if you can and restore everything you altered to the default way it was for MailChimp. Thanks, Bryan

Bryan: Here's a link to the site that's in development. I've got the mailchimp wiget in a sidebar... http://www.photostoryskills.com/ One note... On another page (click the Go To the Mini-Course button), I have a manually entered Mailchimp form (came from my mailchimp account). Thinking that might be inteferring somehow, I removed it, deleted the widget, then reinstalled the widget, and it still did not work. The widget has been reset so that there is no custom formatting. Thanks for any help you can give.

Okay, the code needed to create the button is in place: `

` So that means there is either a setting in MailChimp that's set to hide the button OR there is some CSS in the Custom CSS section that is hiding the button. Look for anything like

mc_signup_submit

in there that might have something like

{display:none}

next to it, if you find it remove all that code. Thanks, Bryan

Bryan... thanks! I WAS able to find the problem.... and for future use, here's what happened.... After searching through all the CSS code for something related to mc_signup_submit that was hidden, I finally just checked for anything having to do with "submit" in all the CSS. In the style-babyblue.css file (part of StationPro), I found the line... .widget_search .button, input[type="submit"], .widget_search .submit, #searchform input#searchsubmit {display:none;} I removed the {display:none;} code, and my mailchimp submit button magically appeared! Looks like some code having to do with the "Search" option on the page was crossing over and hiding the mailchimp submit. As I'm not any type of a CSS expert, I'm not sure why, but it now works!
