Hi @kacyb03 

To add a First Name field to your email signup form, please follow those steps: 

1. Go to your Theme > Edit code > Sections > Open newletter.liquid and replace the code in this file with the following code. 

{{ 'component-newsletter.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'newsletter-section.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

<div class="newsletter center{% if section.settings.full_width == false %} newsletter--narrow page-width{% endif%}">
  <div class="newsletter__wrapper color-{{ section.settings.color_scheme }} gradient">
    {%- for block in section.blocks -%}
      {%- case block.type -%}
        {%- when '@app' -%}
          {% render block %}
        {%- when 'heading' -%}
          <h2 class="h1" {{ block.shopify_attributes }}>{{ block.settings.heading | escape }}</h2>
        {%- when 'paragraph' -%}
          <div class="newsletter__subheading rte" {{ block.shopify_attributes }}>{{ block.settings.text }}</div>
        {%- when 'email_form' -%}
          <div {{ block.shopify_attributes }}>
            {% form 'customer', class: 'newsletter-form' %}
            
			
            <input type="hidden" name="contact[tags]" value="newsletter">
              <div class="newsletter-form__field-wrapper">
                <div class="field">
					<input class="field__input" autocomplete="name" type="text" id="ContactForm-first_name" name="contact[first_name]" value="" aria-required="true" placeholder="First Name" required>
					<label class="field__label" for="ContactForm-first_name">{{ 'customer.register.first_name' | t }}</label>
				</div>	
				<div class="field">
				  <input
                    id="NewsletterForm--{{ section.id }}"
                    type="email"
                    name="contact[email]"
                    class="field__input"
                    value="{{ form.email }}"

                    autocomplete="email"
                    {% if form.errors %}
                      autofocus
                      aria-invalid="true"
                      aria-describedby="Newsletter-error--{{ section.id }}"
                    {% elsif form.posted_successfully? %}
                      aria-describedby="Newsletter-success--{{ section.id }}"
                    {% endif %}

                {%- endif -%}

2. Once done, go to your Theme > Customize > Homepage > Add section > Search for Email Signup > Add Email Sign up
Now you will have a sign-up form with First Name and Email.

Does documentation exist for all of the available fields that can be added?  For example, in your code you use "contact[first_name]".  Where did you learn that was available?

Thanks.

I have added the first name field to my newsletter sign up. Very happyt with that! Now I would like to add some padding tot the bottom of the newsletter sign up block as the email sign up form is now set completely on the bottom and this doesn't look right. There is no background color between that and the next block. Is this possible to add?

Hello, 

After adding this code I get a error message. Can you please tell me how to fix this?

missing translation: "t:sections.newsletter.settings.color_scheme.label" is not present in any of the ["nl-NL", "nl", "en"] schema locale files
