Adding shadow over background image (container)

  • I’m having an issue with an element that I added to my page from the Pattern Library. It’s a container that has a background image and a text overlay. This background image is also darker than normal so I’m guessing there is some other black-colored overlay with a low opacity that allows the image behind it to be shown.

    The problem is that I’m trying to add an optin form into this container, but when I add it it is automatically behind this dark colored overlay, so it appears to be shaded.

    I know that there is a way to bring it to the front because the text overlay is in the front, but I just don’t know how.

    Any help?

    Here’s an image of what I mean:https://ibb.co/j64R0PW

  • Hi there,

    Can you link us to the page in question?

    You can use the private information field.

    Let me know 🙂

  • Yep. I’ve added some private info.

  • How is that form added? Is it a block?

  • Yes. It’s a container from GenerateBlocks. It was from the GenerateBlocks pattern library so it was already premade with the shadow feature when I put it there but then I customized it some.

  • Hi there,

    May I know how the opt-in form is being added? If it’s via code, can you provide the code here? Please remove any sensitive identifiers like ID of the form.

  • Yes, it’s added via this code:
    <getresponse-form form-id=”15ee6db7-6b7a-42dc-a8ae” e=”1″></getresponse-form>

    *I removed some of the form-id so it’s not exact.

  • Hi there,

    place the form inside a GB Container Block.
    Then set that Container Blocks Layout > Z-Index to 1

  • Worked like a charm. Thank you!

  • Also, do you have any idea how the shadow overlay was added to the GB Container Block?

  • If you select the parent Container Block – the one with the image and overlay
    In the block settings > Bacground there is a Gradient that has been set as a Pseudo Element. Its that gradient that adds the overlay.

  • Thank you for this!

  • You’re welcome
