Changing color of "Email Address" in Newsletter block section

Hi there,

I tried to use a custom code to make just a line where the email address goes (instead of a box). But then the text "Email address" disappeared. Need help bringing it back and changing it's color to white -- while everything else stays the same (black input background etc).

Here's my CSS currently:

/*** NEWSLETTER FORM FIELDS ***/

.newsletter-form-field-wrapper input:focus {
    color: white;
}

.newsletter-form-field-element {
background: transparent !important;
border-top: none !important;
border-left: none !important;
border-right: none !important;
border-bottom: solid 2px #ffcc00 !important; 
}

 

*Also, a note - I am using the Business plan for the site if that matters in any way with the code.

Looking for help thanks!

I am having the same issue. I need to change the Newsletter & Contact form placeholder text from Black to White. A ghost plugin gives me lines on the Newsletter, but the prompt text cannot be read on black backround.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I added this and was able to get the "first name" " last name" "email address" prompts to be white, however when a user types their words still appear black ( invisible to user)

 

footer.sections input[type="text"] {
	border-color: white;
}
footer.sections input[type="text"]::placeholder {
	color: white !important;
}

Has this been solved? I have the same problem. I was able to get the current "Email Address" to white but when you type in the box it's still black. I couldn't figure out the code to make it white too.

 

This is the code I'm currently using. Link to the website is mixbar.com/home

My issue is that although I've tried changing the color of the text in the newsletter box of my footer, it's only the border of the newsletter box, which changes color.

I've used this code:
#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1622837024363_5302 .newsletter-form input {
    color: #fefaec !important;
    opacity: 1;
    border-bottom-color: #fefaec;
}

Thanks to everyone on this thread. I was able to make some great modifications to the email signup in the footer, including changing the active input color to blue, and removing the background and three sides of the input field — but am still stuck with this grey type for the placeholder "Email Address" input field.

I've tried the various code offered here, but can't seem to shake it...

If anyone knows how to get this to change color (and even to change the words themselves: I'd really prefer just "EMAIL"!) that'd be great....

It looks like you changed color? To change text, add this code to Papa Page Header

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
	$('.email input').attr('placeholder','Email');
});
</script>

Hi, 

I've tried all the varieties of code above but still can't seem to change the 'email address' text to white in my newsletter sign up block in the footer. Any ideas? 

It appears to work on the homepage, but not others!

Thanks

    color: #fff !important;
}

Hi Sorry, on the homepage this is working

But 'email address' still appears as black text on black background on the following pages:
https://daffodil-groundhog-6c5l.squarespace.com/about
https://daffodil-groundhog-6c5l.squarespace.com/explore
https://daffodil-groundhog-6c5l.squarespace.com/collaborations
https://daffodil-groundhog-6c5l.squarespace.com/journal
and elsewhere on the site.

Could you help making the 'email address' text white across the full site?

Thanks,

Jordan
