Title: making background FE transparent Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # making background FE transparent * Resolved [qfalconer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qfalconer/) * (@qfalconer) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-background-fe-transparent/) * Hello, * I need to make the front end form’s background transparent. The CSS is this: * .yks-mailchimpFormContainer-0-7a6382a33a { background: #fff none repeat scroll 0 0; color: #333; padding: 1em; width: 100%; } * But I can’t find this in the CSS includes in the plug-in editor. Which CSS stylesheet is this in? * Thanks! * Q * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Author [Evan Herman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eherman24/) * (@eherman24) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-background-fe-transparent/#post-6589616) * Hi, * You want to add the custom CSS to your active child theme style.css file. You don’t want to edit any of the plugin core files. * I would recommend you begin using the latest stable release, which can be found at the following URL: [https://cloudup.com/files/iU2qFFvl2li/download](https://cloudup.com/files/iU2qFFvl2li/download) * Also, if you can share the link to the page you are displaying the form on, I can provide you with code specific to your site. * Thanks, Evan * Thread Starter [qfalconer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qfalconer/) * (@qfalconer) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-background-fe-transparent/#post-6589621) * Thanks Evan, * I hadn’t realized that the child theme style.css would also over-ride plug-in based css. Just to be sure, the attribute in question would be this * .yks-mailchimpFormContainer-0-7a6382a33a * or would it be * .yks-mailchimpFormContainer ? * and I also noticed this attribute in the style.ykseme.css, front end section. Why isn’t this the attribute for the background when placed in a sidebar as a widget? Admittedly, I am a beginner… * .ui-widget-overlay:nth-child(2) { background: transparent !important; * I’ll post the link for the page after the site goes live Wednesday. I’m in kind of a time crunch and I don’t really want to alter any of the core/php files, so I’ve just be making changes in the editor for now and documenting my changes. * Thanks again! * Q * Plugin Author [Evan Herman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eherman24/) * (@eherman24) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-background-fe-transparent/#post-6589731) * Hi qfalconer, * Sorry for the delay in responses. I have been working quite diligently getting the new release ready and rolled out today. * My recommendation would be to update to the latest release. I think you’ll find that version a whole lot easier to work with, and the classes on each field/form to be far more intuitive, user friendly and easier to target via CSS. * Alternatively, we’ve built out a customizer add-on that allows you to use the WrordPress customizer alongside our plugin for full visual control of the form itself. You can add text, images, alter field and label styles and much more. * If you want to give it a look over, you can find that Add-on on our new plugins site, [https://yikesplugins.com/plugin/form-customizer-for-easy-forms-for-mailchimp/](https://yikesplugins.com/plugin/form-customizer-for-easy-forms-for-mailchimp/). * If you still need help with the CSS, feel free to share a link here and I’ll provide you with some custom CSS. In the meantime I am going to mark this issue as resolved since it’s related to the older version of the plugin, which is now deprecated. * Thanks, Evan * Thread Starter [qfalconer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qfalconer/) * (@qfalconer) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-background-fe-transparent/#post-6589732) * Thank Even for the response Evan, but I figured it out. It’s looking very good now. * q Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘making background FE transparent’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender_a1c7e5. svg) * [Easy Forms for Mailchimp](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/reviews/) ## Tags * [background](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/background/) * [transparent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/transparent/) * 4 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [qfalconer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qfalconer/) * Last activity: [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-background-fe-transparent/#post-6589732) * Status: resolved
