Hey IBlog,
It looks like something to do with a CSS issue in your theme. Can you please share URL of your website (the page which contains the widget).
I am busy with updating the website – so I used the maintenance plugin, so I can’t give you now the ‘live’ view. What can I do so you can help me anyway?
Hey IBlog,
It is difficult to assist without looking at the site. If you are a developer and have experience with CSS, I would recommend inspecting using “Inspect Element” option in Chrome and similar tools in other browsers. If however you have no experience with it, then without looking at the website we would not be able to offer much help.
Also to make sure if it’s a theme issue, you can simply activate the default theme, and add our widget to it and test.
I don’t now nothing about CSS… I wil make the site live for a while. Take a look at: http://www.islam-blog.nl
Hello,
I checked your website. The background is added by your active theme “Press room”. To fix the issue you can add below code to your theme somewhere at the end of style.css file.
.mc4wp-form .form { background-image: none !important; }Please note, custom CSS is beyond the scope of support so we would only be able to assist in minor things. For much detailed work or errors you might need to contact your theme provider.
Thank you! Can you tell me where i can find the style.css file?
Hello IBlog,
It would be in your active theme’s folder. Are you using JetPack plugin? It has an option to add additional CSS.
Second way would be to go to “Appearance > Editor” and find the style.css file.
I did the second option – I just paste it at the end of the file but nothing happend
Hello,
I just checked http://islam-blog.nl/wp-content/themes/pressroom/style.css?ver=4.2.2 and did not find the code I shared at the bottom.
I would strongly suggest contacting your theme developer and asking them if there is a way for you to add custom CSS code. It might be somewhere in the theme options/settings. If you do find it you can paste the code there.

This was the first option, right? But it doesn’t change anything
I just changed it to above. Its under

Hi,
Can you please try this code instead:
.mc4wp-form.form { background-image: none !important; }It worked! Thank you a lot !
