Topic: WP-Email popup keeps showing my background template and I don't want to

[fabriciovasselai]

Dears,

What I am trying to do is just to leave WP-Email popup screen all without my blog's template.

And for now, I was not able to make the popup windows of WP-email to show up without the background picture that I use in my header.

How could I?

(you can see it by yourselves in: politicando.blog.br)

Please, any help would be very important!!

It uses the same stylesheet as your main site style.css. You can create a stylesheet and link it manually in email-popup.php.

If not don't use a popup window.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Let me see if I understood it well.

Should I just create, for instance, another CSS file and assign it, al right?

But how can I manually link WP-email popup to that new CSS?

Thanks very much!

email-popup.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
Replace:

Code: [Select]

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.path.to/stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Hi, just following along because I'm having the same issue. I'm stoked that I finally got it working, but the template is using a background color of dark grey in the email template, and i just want to change that one color. Is there any way to do that without creating a whole new file?

thanks,

You can duplicate the css and just modify the background attribute. I don't think there is a way around it. That is what I did as well for my own site.

Hi there,
what file is that code in? The code that needs to be replaced?
thanks,
Laura

What are you talking about? This thread is for email popup, look at reply #3

[lauramac]

Sorry, I posted in the wrong spot, Ididn't mean to make a new discussion...

Yes I was talking about this code

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

I'm sorry I'm just learning...

I created a email-popup.php file with this code:

body {
   font-color: #25383C;   
   background:#CC9999;
}

I put the code in the header.php but nothing changed?

Any suggestions?

Am I supposed to totally duplicate the CSS file? I think that's what you wrote, so I'm not sure if I understand...

[lauramac]

Ok, major misunderstanding...
I'm looking in the wp-email/wp-email.php file that comes with your plugin.

Am I supposed to replace code in that file?

Thanks,
Laura

The only file you need to modify is email-popup.php.
In email-popup.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
Replace:

Code: [Select]

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.domain.com/wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME/email-popup.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
Modify http://www.domain.com/ and THEME_NAME respectively

Create a new CSS file called email-popup.css and place it in your theme folder

And the you can code your email-popup.css as per normal.

I do not provide support for css, that is for you to figure it out.
