Newsletter block placeholder text

Site URL: https://jellyfish-kumquat-hdzl.squarespace.com/

Hello, I'd like to edit the placeholder text in my newsletter block email field to read "Email" instead of "Email Address". I've been able to edit the styling of this text but have had no luck changing the words themselves. There doesn't appear to be an option built into the newsletter block editor to change this like you can for the 'Submit' button.

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

You can use jQuery to change email address text. It needs Business Plan. Which plan do you use?

Currently on trial version, but will move to business plan in a couple of days for launch 🙂

Hmm this doesn't seem to work for me. I double checked the block ID, any other ideas I could try?

Got it to work using this code in the end, thanks for all your help.

<script>
  if (document.querySelector("#block-e0d1501cb525ac50b3a0")) {
    document.querySelector('.newsletter-form-field-element[name="email"]').placeholder='Email'; 
  }
</script>

Thank you both. This has helped me customise my newsletter email placeholder text 🙂

Got it. thank you.

I tried the suggestions in this post on https://www.calvin.no/, but they didn't work on my site. Any idea how I can change the placeholder text to something else ("E-post").

This worked wonderfully. Thank you!
