Hi,
Currently, Email field doesn’t have a placeholder. We’ll include your suggestion in the upcoming version of the plugin.
Hi @5amwe5t,
After discussion we have decided that we won’t be adding your suggestions in the plugin.
Instead you can modify plugin files if you want to add placeholder for Name & Email field but you would need to maintain these changes for each plugin update.
You can edit following plugin files :
– wp-content/plugins/email-subscribers/classes/es-loadwidget.php
– wp-content/plugins/email-subscribers/classes/es-register.php
locate following line of code in both files :
<input class="es_textbox_class
then add a parameter in it :
<input class="es_textbox_class placeholder="the placeholder that you want to add"
Hope this helps!
Along the same lines, I was wondering if you had any plans to add label tags to the name and email input fields. My accessibility tester team dings me when fields don’t have label tags. I’ve been going to the where they’re defined in the plugin and adding them in to the input files. Could you add the labels in as a standard part of the plugin?
@wremmert,
If you require assistance then, as per Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.
Also, just to update you, we do have plans to improve subscribe form in Email Subscribers.
I also having the same problem, I edit the file you mentioned above but still the changes didn’t show up.
It show up. I think the placeholder must be <input class=”es_textbox_class” placeholder=”the placeholder that you want to add” >
Thanks a lot for this plugin.
I was also hoping to do the same, but the code above did not work for me. Should the code end with > ?
Also, <input class=”es_textbox_class shows up twice in both files. Should all of them be changed?
thanks!
Hello @travelingbento,
Your code should look like this <input class=”es_textbox_class” placeholder=”the placeholder that you want to add” >
Thanks.

Do not edit any plugin files of Email Subscribers. Use our another free plugin Rainmaker.
Rainmaker has different form styles which includes a placeholder styled form also. You can use that.
Email Subscribers is also integrated with Rainmaker. Follow steps from here – How to use Rainmaker’s form in Email Subscribers
