Hello, thank you so much for all your help. Here’s what I ended up using, and I put it on the theme’s custom CSS, this way future MC updates won’t erase it.

– Notice I had to use !important; or it woulnd’t take it.
– And I had to delete in the MC widget php style “margin-top: 1.5em;” to center vertically. I tried using “margin-top:none !important;” but would not take.
– Last I could not get “#mc_signup_submit margin-top:” to work with a % but rather px only. With a % it would change badly among devices,
too narrow or too wide.

Thanks again for you help. This works for now -I think- unless you see a better way?

My humble suggestion for future plugin updates: CSS editing within the plugin dashboard would be great.

BTW… I also found this great tool to test it: http://ipadpeek.com/

/* MAILCHIMP WIDGET */

	.mc_input
{
		-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
		-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
		box-sizing: border-box;
		width: 35% !important;
}

	#mc_signup_submit
{
		margin-top: none !important;
		width: 100px !important;

}

No response. I have reversed the update to Version 1.2.14 . If plugin creator has feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s the only CSS I found which was working fine before updating to 1.3

/* Newsletter Widget */
	#pre-hero #newsletter-widget {
		border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e1e1;

	#pre-hero #newsletter-widget #mc_signup_form .mc_var_label { display: block; text-align: center; }

Hello nc_nate, I looked but can’t find the cheat sheet you refer too?

CORRECTION:

Strangely enough, if I activate the plugin and check box for bar TO HIDE… the WP dashboard comes back. QB does not show up at all when ACTIVE instead, it seems it just cover the WP-Dashboard with a blank bar. So in essense the WP Dashboard is there just under it.

As as in #2 above, I completely removed the plugin and left me with the WP Dashboard bar still cover by the quick notice blank bar. Only way to fix it was to install QB back, the check “HIDE” bar.

When I uninstalled, are there other files or script I need to remove via FTP? or how can I fix it as I would still like to use it.
