    Hi there,

    I changed the fields’ labels in the “List fields and *|MERGE|* tags” section of my list, but when I insert the form with the plugin on a page of my website the label of the e-mail field doesn’t change (only that one, the others change).

    So how do I change the “Field label” for the e-mail field within the plugin?

    Thanks,

    Simone

    I have the identical question. I did exactly what you did: I changed the label for the email field on the MailChimp side of things, but the new field label doesn’t carry over to the plugin. Were you able to find a solution for this, Simone?

    If not, I hope one of the developers answers our question.

    Best,

    Hi @semikola and @artfuljammer,

    Unfortunately it is not possible to create placeholder text specifically for the email field of forms made with our plugin. I realize that’s the most important field in most cases and it would be nice to be able to create some placeholder text there somehow. I’ve passed along some feedback for our developers to take a closer look in on getting that ability added to a future release of the plugin. While I don’t have any sort of estimate for that feature request I’ll be sure to pass along the sentiment here and ensure they’re aware of how awesome that would be for everyone.

    Please get back in touch if we can help with any thing further.

    Cheers,
    Jasper

    Hi @mcsupport,

    thanks, that would be great!

    @artfuljammer I didn’t find a proper solution, but I managed to solve it with some CSS

    First I made the label invisible:

    label[for="mc_mv_EMAIL"] {
    visibility: hidden;
}

    then, with a pseudo element, I inserted my content and made it visible:

    label[for="mc_mv_EMAIL"]:before {
    visibility: visible;
    content: "custom label*";
}

    It’s neither elegant nor friendly, but it does the job. I hope that can help you.

    Cheers,

    Simone
