Sign-Up Form

Social Sign-Up Links

Example: Basic CSS styling of sign-up form

By assigning a CSS class to the form and submit button, you can style it using CSS. Here’s an example that customizes the form fields and submit button.

Adjust the HTML of the form to add CSS classes:

<form id="email-signup" data-ae-register-form="email" action="https://myfairsharedev.wpenginepowered.com/thank-you/" method="POST">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name" name="firstname" required>
<br>
<br>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Email" name="email" required>
<br>
<br>
  <input type="password" placeholder="Password" id="psw" name="password">
<br>
 <br>
 <p style= "color:#8f8f8f" ><em>By creating an account, you agree to the contest terms and conditions and our <a href="https://myfairshare.io/privacy-policy/">privacy policy.</a></em></p>
<button type="submit" class="signupbtn">Sign Up</button>
</form>

To add CSS in wordpress, click the View Page button in the upper right.
Select Customize from the top menu.
Select Additional CSS from the side navigation. Any changes you make to the CSS here will be previewed real-time on the page.

Here’s the CSS:

/* Form and input fields */

  input[type=text], input[type=password] {

  padding: 15px;

  margin: 5px 0 22px 0;
