[Resolved] Insert Box in GP Elements

[Markus]

Dear GeneratePres-Team,

On the front site oft my site https://www.radtouren-checker.de/ I’ve got a header image which I’ve inserted via GP Elements.

Inside this element should be contained a newsletter box. I can insert the newsletter via shortcode but without a box. Is there any possibility to put in a box (kinda like a widget box)?

Thanks!

Kind Regards,
Markus

Hi there,

you can use some CSS like this to add a background color with some padding:

.page-hero .mailster-form {
    padding: 20px;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    background-color: #ccc;
}

If you want greater styling control, and the header element doesn’t require any Dynamic content such as Post Title or Post meta – you may want to use the Block Element instead:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-overview/

You can hook in custom built Blocks using GenerateBlocks in the after_header hook to position it where the Header Element appears.
