 * Hi,
 * Your theme styles are overriding Mailbag’s styles. For the name and email labels,
   your theme is hiding them with this:
 *     ```
       html.placeholder label[for] {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * The text boxes for entering name and email are being given a white background
   color back your theme, with this:
 *     ```
       #main input[type=text],
       #main input[type=email],
       #main input[type=password],
       #main input[type=email],
       #main input[type=search],
       #main input[type=date],
       #main input[type=range],
       #main input[type=number],
       #main textarea,
       #main select {
           background-color: #ffffff;
       }
       ```
   
 * You’ll need to make adjustments to make things visible.

 * Hi Joy,
 * I see the scrollbar in Firefox. We’ll take a look at fixing that in the next 
   update.
 * All of your images are opening in a new window in all browsers, not just Firefox.
   That’s because they have a target=”_blank” on the links wrapping them. If you’re
   in the Text editor view when editing those posts, you can remove that part of
   the link and the images will open in the same window.
 * The red dotted line (it’s actually orange) is there because of customizations
   you made to the styles. Specifically line 434 in style.css where you change the
   link color:
    `a:hover, a:focus, a:active`
 * The line shows up because the images are wrapped in links and they’re gaining
   focus when you click them.

 * The CSS plugin you’re using should be fine with updates. If you make the footer.
   php customizations you’ll probably want to do those in a child theme.
 * To make another widget area instead of the featured posts would require a few
   customizations. You’d need to register a new [sidebar location](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar),
   probably in your child theme’s functions.php file, and make customizations to
   the header.php file so that it displays it instead of the featured posts.

 * Hi,
 * For making theme customizations, it’s best to use a [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   so you don’t lose your changes when installing Editor updates in the future.
 * – The font color thing depends on if you’re using the light or dark sidebar. 
   Which scheme are you using? You’ll need some custom CSS styles to match the color
   scheme you’re using. Those would go in your child theme’s style.css file. What
   exactly do you want to change? Widget and Post Title colors?
 * – You can customize the footer text by copying footer.php file from Editor into
   your child theme and making the edits there.
 * – We’ll likely not add any additional menus to the theme. I don’t see where they’d
   fit in with the design. You could add another menu using the Custom Menu widget
   that comes with WordPress, but that would show under the widget toggle and not
   on the main screen.

 * There’s no setting for that now. We’ve kept the plugin simple instead of packing
   it with options. We could add an option, or maybe a filter, that makes it easy
   to change.
 * You could edit the plugin files, but you’d lose the changes when updating it.
   You could change it with JavaScript. Neither of those are ideal though.
 * We’ll discuss the possibility of addressing this for the next update.

 * If you disable the Mailbag Form Styles setting, your theme will control the look
   of the form elements. You can also do custom CSS using the selectors the plugin
   uses:
 *     ```
       .mailbag-wrap input[type="text"],
       .mailbag-wrap input[type="email"],
       .mailbag-wrap input[type="password"]

 * Hey Romeo,
 * The plugin doesn’t support that currently, but I think it’s a good idea and something
   we’ll consider for a future update.

 * Hi Rishabh,
 * As you noted, WooCommerce styles buttons on pages where it outputs something.
   To replicate that look you’ll need to copy all their styles to your non-WooCommerce
   button styles. This isn’t specific to Mailbag, and it would likely affect other
   plugins such as contact forms.
 * You can try background-color: transparent to get rid of the button background
   color, but beyond that you’ll need to dig into what WooCommerce is doing and 
   copy it if that’s the look you want.

 * It looks like WooCommerce is styling buttons and form fields on pages where it
   operates. You’ll need to copy those styles if you want that same look on non-
   WooCommerce pages.

 * Do you see this on our demo page [here](http://themes.array.is/editor/)? I’m 
   not seeing it. Can you share a link to your site where this is happening?

 * I just installed a fresh copy of WordPress and Editor and the HR icon is definitely
   there. It’s weird that you’re not seeing one.
 * Did you disable all your plugins at the same time and try it with zero plugins
   activated? If so, sounds like you have some other kind of conflict or issue caused
   by a plugin saving something to the database.

   see.

 * Hi Avantart,
 * By default, Editor shows the horizontal rule in both the editing screen and on
   the front end of the site. If you’re not seeing it as it is in Mike’s screenshot,
   chances are it’s due to the editor customizations you’ve made.
