Hi, I have a question: I created an embedded form on MailChimp and formatted the link per the instructions in the documentation. However, when I try to subscribe, the arrow icon you click just spins indefinitely. Can you offer any guidance?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteplease share your URL where I can see it.

Hi there, I have had this problem previously with an RSS box, but now I want to make sure I am using the correct CSS to make this change so they work on all my pages.
ReplyDeleteI have two text boxes in VC, at the top of this page – http://www.scphousingauthority.com/contact/ and this page – http://www.scphousingauthority.com/plansanddocuments/
that do not show up with white backgrounds like all the other boxes built the same way do. How can I fix?
Thanks,
Renee
Hi,
ReplyDeletetry to use Content Box element instead of Text block element.
The thing is that the box works only for custom VC elements. You can try this CSS to make it work for text block as well (which is not a custom element but the default VC one), but I can’t guarantee it won’t mess something up:
.wpb_text_column > .wpb_wrapper { padding: 24px 30px 1px 30px; margin-bottom: 24px; background-color: #FFF; box-shadow: 1px 1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05); }

OK. I changed my text box at the top of this page (which was showing up correctly with a white background previously) to a content box. It now has a light gray border set in from the edge of the box on the right and bottom sides. See this page – http://www.scphousingauthority.com/board/
ReplyDeleteOn this page – http://www.scphousingauthority.com/contact/ – at the top, I have a Feature Box (the one with the bullhorn icon). I think this is a custom VC element. I have the same element on the front page, and it shows up with the white background. However, on this page it shows up with no background.
It looks lile you’ve added a background color to VC row and inserted a Content Box inside that row. You need to remove the row styling.
ReplyDeleteAd second page: you need to edit the page, scroll down to Page Settinbs / Content and enable separate boxes option. Then remove styling from the Contact Info row, because otherwise you will see the same issue as in the page above.
OK, I think I figured out why I was trying to do a workaround with this. I made all the suggested changes. If you look at the pages again, you’ll see that some of the boxes don’t stretch all the way across the page. (On the Board Members page, the top box doesn’t stretch; on the Contact page, the Contact Information and Contact Form boxes don’t line up on the left side. Is there a setting I can change to make these line up?
ReplyDeleteTry to remove and insert those rows again. But honestly, it seems like you are trying to overstretch the possibilities of the theme, the customization has its limits unfortunately. When you are trying to go bit further away from what can be seen in the demo you should consider hiring a coder who can help with some small code changes here and there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your help, but I’m actually trying to make this look exactly like the demo as far as how boxes are lining up. I’m not trying to overstretch the possibilities of the theme at all.
ReplyDeleteJust for reference, on the Board Members page, if I insert a Content box without first laying down a row in VC, it fixes the issue with the box not stretching across the page.
