CSS styles not applied to Mailchimp form

I have edited the style of an embedded Mailchimp form for my WP website. However, when I apply the changes to my website's footer.php and style.css, the form looks completely unstyled:

Unstyled Mailchimp form

Here's a fiddle in which you can see the style of the form I aim to apply.

You can also see the code here:

/* Changes the style of the overall form */

#mc_embed_signup {
  background: #c2cdc8;
  color: #000000;
  padding: 45px;
  text-align: center;
}


/* Styles the header text above the inputs */

#inscripcion {
  font-size: 18px;
  font: Poppins, sans-serif;
  margin: 0 0 20px;
  color: #000000;
  text-align: center;
}

#mc_embed_signup form {
  text-align: center;
  padding: 10px 0 10px 0;
}

.mc-field-group {
  display: inline-block;
}


/* positions input field horizontally */

      <div class="clear"><input type="submit" value="OK!" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button"></div>
    </div>
  </form>
</div>

What's wrong with this code? Something must be blocking all styles, but I can't see what.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Solution

  • For some reason, if I included the HTML on footer.php and the CSS on style.css, the styles didn't properly load and the form had an awful appearance.

    Perhaps this isn't a neat or clean solution, but it works and now my Mailchimp form is properly styled. I simply included the styles right at the beginning of the div for the form and now they appear smoothly. I did it with this code, included on footer.php:

    <!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form -->
<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<style>
/* Changes the style of the overall form */
#mc_embed_signup {
    background: #c2cdc8;
    color: #000000;
    padding: 45px;
        text-align: center;
}
   
  /* Styles the header text above the inputs */
#inscripcion {
    font-size: 16px;
    font: Poppins,sans-serif;
    font-weight: 600;
    margin: 0 0 20px;
    color: #000000;
    text-align: center;
}

#mc_embed_signup form {
  text-align: center;
  padding: 10px 0 10px 0;
}
.mc-field-group {
  display: inline-block; 
} /* positions input field horizontally */

#mc_embed_signup input.email {

    Change it so that it adapts to your needs and preferences and it should work, although I can't guarantee that it's a clean solution.
