Email Validation Error

Resolved diywptips

Hi,

I’m having an email validation issue with the plugin – the email field is showing as invalid (i.e. formatted with a red line around it) immediately, as soon as the page loads, even if it’s empty.

Is there something I can do to resolve this, please?

Thank you!

Hi Tracy,

Yes – it’s now live at http://www.diywptips.com.

This page for example: http://www.diywptips.com/2016/10/set-up-e-mail-list-grow-your-blog/#more-967

or the form in the sidebar.

Thank you

Hi There,

Your theme’s style sheet has this code on line 75 that is adding that red shadow to the field.
```
input:invalid, textarea:invalid {
    border-radius: 1px;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px red;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px red;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px red;
}
```
I imagine you will know how to safely fix this because you have a post on theme customization 🙂

If you need more help, just let me know!

Thank you!

Ah! Thank you.

However, why is it showing as invalid when nothing has been entered into it yet?

That I honestly do not know. I’ve never seen that happen on one of our forms before.

OK – I’ve implemented. Form seems to be working in any case.

Thanks for your help Tracy. At least that’s a partial / temporary fix even if we don’t know why the error!
