 * Hi! I’m not seeing your screenshot, could you possibly add the link to the (online)
   file? I’d be happy to take a look.

 * Hi corneliusw,
 * I checked your website using Google Chrome and was not able to see any grey boxes.
   Can you let me know which web browser you are using. If you could share any screenshots
   via DropBox or [http://imgur.com/](http://imgur.com/) it would be helpful.

 * Hello corneliusw,
 * Thank you for sharing the screenshot. I also checked your source code. The 2 
   boxes are caused due to additional “`" tag around your form code. `
 * Can you please share the code in your form as well as the contents in the editor
   of your page [http://eatuberbacon.com/newsletter/](http://eatuberbacon.com/newsletter/).

 * Hi corneliusw,
    I did not meant the plugin code. What I meant is to go to your
   WordPress Dashboard > Edit Screen of the page “[http://eatuberbacon.com/newsletter/&#8221](http://eatuberbacon.com/newsletter/&#8221);
   and copy and share the content you have there. You would need to copy the code
   after switching to text mode and not the visual.

 * I figured that’s what you meant but it was only a shortcode:
 * `<code>[mc4wp_form]</code>`

 * Hey corneliusw,
 * Can you please try removing the ‘`' & `‘ tags and just keep the shortcode itself.
   Please let me know how it goes.

 * Hey corneliusw,
 * It seems due to editor restrictions, when I entered < code >, it was removed.
   Anyways I’m glad the issue is resolved.
 * We would love to have your opinion of our plugin and support in our Review section
