 * Hello, my website is [http://www.estatesalesokc.com](http://www.estatesalesokc.com)/
   wanting to know if i can resize the email text box so my sign up button will 
   be on the same line as the text box. the way it is now, the text box is too wide
   for both to fit.
 * thanks

 * Hi, you can resize the email text box by adding this to your css file:
 * .widget_sf_widget_constantcontact .widget-wrapper input[type=”text”] {
    width:
   60% }

 * Hi again,
 * That didn’t seem to work. The size of the text box was unchanged by the custom
   CSS.
 * edit: I input the code incorrectly. It is now working. Thanks so much!

 * You can add it to your theme under Appearance > Editor

 * Thank you so much for your help. Sorry, I’m still having trouble…
 * I added this code:
 * .widget_sf_widget_constantcontact .widget-wrapper input[type=”text”] { width:
   60% }
 * Within the Editor under the sidebar/widget section but am not having any luck.

 * For your theme, you will need to use instead:
 * .widget_sf_widget_constantcontact input[type=”text”] { width:60% }
 * If you would like the input box on its own line (which I think would look better
   on your theme), use:
 * .widget_sf_widget_constantcontact input[type=”text”] { width:100% }

 * Having an issue with spacing on [http://www.mastersmusic.com](http://www.mastersmusic.com)–
   towards the bottom. I’m using the short code and have tried all 3 versions of
   custom CSS as listed above.
 * Thanks so much.

 * Hi Eric, how exactly are you trying to arrange the spacing?

 * Just center it. Maybe with width 100% or make the text field box smaller? It 
   also doesn’t prompt for name and last name when I put in the additional tag in
   the short code.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Make sure you are using the shortcode like this:
 * [constantcontactwidget nam=”1″ grp=”constant contact list name” btn=”button text”
   msg=”success message”]
 * Note that it should be nam=”1″ not name=”1″.
 * For the CSS, try this in your theme css file
 * .constantcontactwidget_form{text-align:center}
    .constantcontactwidget_form input[
   type=”text”]{width:300px;max-width:100%}
