Editing MailPress Themes

Mailpress is a powerful plugin that can keep you in touch with your users. But its theme choices are very limited, therefore you probably want to know how to modify it to your liking. Well I wanted to do that and I found out that the task itself is simple but very boring.

Alright, lets start. First you must locate the CSS that you want to edit, the CSS for you mailpress theme can be found here: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/mailpress/mp-content/themes/themethatyouselected/. Now here is the thing, your first instinct will be to go to the style.css file in your theme folder, don’t, in that file there will be a message saying that Mailpress does not use the CSS file because many e-mail providers discard the css file. Therefore all the CSS  for your Mailpress theme is inline CSS. So, CSS is in each of the files that are in your theme directory. Here is an example of the inline CSS you will find when editing mailpress:

<td style=’width:50px;’></td>

Now unfortunatly , this also means you have to edit a lot of file to make your CSS changes global. So a basic knowledge of CSS is very useful. Anyway that is where you can edit these themes. There really is much to it but the task of finding these  CSS declarations is very tedious. I do hope that I helped anyone who was looking on editing these themes.
