Hey! I have a weekly newsletter via MailChimp, and I'd like to bring my sent mails to my website as well:
(Model site) https://thehustle.co/daily
(..My site) https://www.toomanytabs.co/newsletter/issue-2/
Looking for a kind soul who can help
*can this be solved by CSS? I've looked into MailChimp but can't seem to find a solution. Thanks so much!
If you control the outer page this is embedded on, you should be able to do it with css. You need to find the elements you want to become transparent, and use background:none; or background-color:transparent; on them, e.g.:
.newsletter-template-default {background:none;}
#templatePreheader {background:none;}
I think those two elements are your problem.
If you want to learn a little about CSS, a good way to learn is open the Inspect tool in your web browser, and just poke around - try looking for things with a background and turning it off, to see what you get. Be careful if working on mailchimp that you don't mess up the emails too by mistake. Unfortunately when you poke through the mailchimp page inside the iframe you'll find it is a horrible mess of tables (tables within tables within tables) - this is necessary because email clients are so old fashioned and many are not updated.
Hi Kenny, thanks so much for your informative reply ðŸ˜ðŸ˜Unfortunately, the CSS that you've provided doesn't work, I guess I'll have to learn my CSS! Also never heard of the inspect tool before - will check it out. I've mailed the folks at MailChimp about this problem but they are telling me this is out of their expertise and are nudging me to contact the developer of the site instead..
I think it will be Mailchimp related (for the address at the bottom) for sure.
I think you can do it all from Mailchimp. Perhaps ask their support team? They'll probably reply fairly quickly
Ooh hi Harry, fancy seeing you here in the comments! :) For their technical support I had to upgrade to a paid version so I thought no further, but after seeing your comment, I dug around their site again and found their contact form. Thanks for making me go back, I hope they resolve the issue..
