Display Petition by Default

There are a couple of ways to do this…

[1] The “Basic” theme still displays the petition message by default. So, you can go to the plugin’s settings page and select “Basic” as your petition theme.

[2] If you want to use the default style instead of basic, you need to make a few CSS edits… On the Settings page, set your theme to “None (use petition.css)”. then copy the default theme’s CSS file (located at css/theme-default.css in the plugin folder) over to your theme folder and rename the file to petition.css. Then edit the following styles…

To hide the yellow ‘Read the petition’ link, change .dk-speakup-readme to display: none; by changing line 54 from this

display: block !important;

to this

display: none;

Now, to display the petition, change lines 160-163 from this

.dk-speakup-petition .dk-speakup-message,
.dk-speakup-petition .dk-speakup-message-editable {
  display: none !important;
}

to this

.dk-speakup-petition .dk-speakup-message,
.dk-speakup-petition .dk-speakup-message-editable {
  overflow: auto;
}
