Hey there!
Thanks for posting. The plugin’s sign up should provide labels by default. If you’re not seeing them, would you be able to post a link to a live site that has the form currently active, so that I can take a look?
Also, do you happen have an example of the specific CSS changes you’ve attempted making (code-wise)? Also, can you elaborate a bit on the specific design changes you’re looking to make to match the particular theme you mentioned? Any examples of this would be great as well!

Hey
Thanks for your reply.
Please you can find an example of what I would like to achieve at http://theme-fusion.com/avada/contact-page-2/
Please I do appreciate your help.
Hi Mc
Did you have the chance to look it?
Many Thanks
Hey there,
In taking a look at the URL you provided, it sounds like you’re looking to have the field labels inside of the input fields. For example, the “email address” field will have the text “email address” inside of the actual input field.
If this is correct, our plugin actually has this functionality built-in! What you’ll need to do is set the Default Merge Tag values inside of your MailChimp account, by following the steps in this article here:
How do I set default merge values (like Dear Customer)?: http://eepurl.com/hcDC
Once you’ve set those default merge tag values in your MailChimp account, you’ll then want to go into your plugin’s settings in your WP-admin area, then click the “update list” button, to make sure everything’s sync up-to-date. You should then see these labels inside of your input fields.
Let me know if you have any questions, or if I misunderstood the intent.

Ah, though it’s worth noting that your MailChimp account won’t allow you to set up a default merge tag value for the Email Address field, so this wouldn’t allow you to set one specifically for the Email Address field.
Alternatively, you may consider utilizing the techniques that some of the other forum users discussed here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-list-subscribe-form-request-add-placeholder-text-for-mailchimp-widget?replies=21
This requires a bit of editing code, but will allow you to accomplish pre-filling the email address field.
Hi Mc Ta,
I’ve used your palceholder rule,
but it seems it is adding a placeholder to all my text boxes.
Is there a way I can set each text box with a separate placeholder message?
L,
Yep yep!
If you scroll all the way to the bottom of that thread, one of the forum users Chris actually posted a workaround to have each text box use its name as the placeholder. That way you can have the dynamic placeholder text that you desire.

Hi Mc
I have followed Cris instruction and everything looks great!!
I have just one question:
How do I remove or hide the text *=required field” after the form?
