How do I get rid of the annoying border around the newsletter input area as well as the double border on hover? And would like to have the input area just underlined ( border-bottom: 2px solid #000; )

Hello @xnyjyh

You can add code by following these steps

  1. Go to Online Store → Theme → Edit code.

  2. Open your theme.liquid file

  3. Paste the below code before on theme.liquid

.footer .field::after{ pointer-events: none; content: ""; position: absolute; top: var(--inputs-border-width); right: var(--inputs-border-width); bottom: var(--inputs-border-width); left: var(--inputs-border-width); border: 0.1rem solid transparent; border-radius: var(--inputs-radius); box-shadow: unset !important; transition: box-shadow var(--duration-short) ease; z-index: 1; border-bottom: 2px solid #000; } .footer .field::before{ pointer-events: none; content: ""; position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; border-radius: unset !important; box-shadow: unset !important; z-index: -1; } .footer .field__input:focus-visible{ box-shadow: unset !important; outline: 0; border-radius: unset !important; }

Hello, thank you so much for the code, but unfortunately it did not work :disappointed_face:

OH wait, it worked for only the footer section newsletter. But did not work on the newsletter section itself.

UPDATE: I just changed the .footer to .newsletter. It worked fine. Solution is confirmed!
