 * 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,
 * Shae

 * Hi [@semikola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/semikola/) and [@artfuljammer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcsupport/),
 * thanks, that would be great!
 * [@artfuljammer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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
