 * I’ve been using the tips in [this thread:](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailchimp-submit-button?replies=2)
   to try and adjust the color of my “Submit” button. The problem is, nothing I 
   do changes the color on hover; it just overrides the transparent button color
   and leaves the hover color incorrect. I also haven’t been able to find the code
   in my theme’s footer sheet. Help? I want to make the button color the same as
   the rest of my theme’s main accent color, but for some reason it’s only showing
   up as the theme’s original accent color.

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for posting. Achieving a hover color is going to be a bit of a different
   situation than what the poster of the linked thread was looking to do. For some
   resources on coding button hover CSS, I’d recommend checking out these links!

 * Hopefully those help out and get your button on the right track. Please feel

   Plugin moving forward.
